Also do not forget RAID performance, which can see massive benefits of the updated SATA interface. As you can understand, with SSDs getting faster and faster that's just a much warmed and welcomed increase of bandwidth. SATA3 is doubling it up, as such we get 6000 Mbit/sec : 8 = 750 MB/sec of available bandwidth for your storage devices. Typically we get 3000 Mbit/s : 8 = 375 MB/sec bandwidth minus tolerances and random occurrences. But with the tremendous rise of fast SSD drives this really is a large plus. Now for regular HDDs that is not really very important. Well firstly, we see the first chipset vendor actually implementing SATA 6G (SATA3), this new update of your SATA connectors will increase the bandwidth on the SATA controller from 3 towards 6 GBit/sec. The Southbridge ASIC is always used for peripheral connectivity like your HDDs, audio, USB, PATA and so on. The new Southbridge is a nice update over the older SB7x0 series.
