Default There is no such thing as "SATA II drives", stupid

While the nice people at SATA-IO are right and while they might not like it, if you do a web search for "SATA II drive" on Froogle, you will find hundreds, probably thousands of sellers advertising kit as "SATA II hard drive". But that is wrong, very wrong. Even our resident guru Fudo committed the sin of using the "SATA II drives" moniker, once. I personally think he should face the heat, too.

All this because the SATA comittee decided to changed their name to SATAII... and at the same moment introduced SATA 3GB/s to the public.
