Let's do some math. A 1.5G bit/sec translates to 192M Bytes/sec. Since most
hard drives I have seen tend to top out at about 60-70 MB/sec, even the 1.5G
cable has much room to spare!

Note that this is based on calculations. I don't have any measurement data
to refer to.

Does anyone know if there will be a significant difference in performance
between a an internal HD SATA cable that works at 3G bits/sec and one that
works at 1.5 G bits/sec? Theoretically should be twice as fast but then
there is HD and buss speed to consider.

I bought three 1.5 G bit cables on-line because I was told they were the
fastest on the market, then I found the 3 G bit ones. I'm thinking not worth
the hassle to pay to send these  back and order the faster ones.
