SATA II drives don't exist (yet), the standard itself does I think.

no... seriously SATA II does not exist!

"The first step toward a better understanding of SATA is to know that SATA II is not the brand name for SATA's 3Gb/s data transfer rate, but the name of the organization formed to author the SATA specifications. The group has since changed names, to the Serial ATA International Organization, or SATA-IO." - SATA-IO, http://www.sata-io.org

The three main misconceptions are that:

* "SATA II" has now been renamed to SATA-IO
* SATA-IO must support 3Gbps transfers
* SATA-IO must support features like NCQ and Hot Plug
