In real world use, are there any noticeable improvements moving from a SATA drive to an SATA2 drive? I have a motherbord that only supports SATA and was wondering if it's worth the cost to upgrade to one that support SATA2.
 
Don't waste your time, it's all theoretical and you can run a SATAII drive with basically no performance hit on a SATAI controller.
 
Sata II gives you higher bandwidth but seeing as sustained transfer rates are easily handled by SATA 1, there isnt much advantage going to SATA II (unless you use RAID and need more bandwidth than SATA 1 can handle).

Burst transfer rates will be improved by the move to SATA II but these transfers form only a small part of hard drive accesses and therefore dont add much to overall performance.
