September 13, 20169 yr I know the basic difference, but the real question is do you think having two drives plugged into SATA 2 ports instead of SATA3 ports would have much affect on the overall read/write speed on and off unRAID?
September 13, 20169 yr no because an typical HDD cant write/read faster than SATA2 anyway. You want SSD on SATA3 and HDD on any. As far as I know, none 7200RPM HDD can write/read faster than 150MB/sec

As far as I know, none 7200RPM HDD can write/read faster than 150MB/sec Actually a LOT of modern high-density drives can sustain performance greater than 150MB/sec. But that's not an issue, since SATA-II transfers at 300MB/sec

September 14, 20169 yr As far as I know, none 7200RPM HDD can write/read faster than 150MB/sec A 8TB 5400rpm Seagate Archive v2 can read 220MB/s. A 8TB WD Red 5900rpm can read and write well over 200MB/s also, I've seen peaks of 250MB/s.
