As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit
per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s transfer rate calculated
according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this
specification sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.
