From a little reasearch I found out there are two different specs for SATA SATA I and and SATA II. What are the differences between these?
 
well s1 is jus pata adaptors apprently , s2 is the true sata connections and sata controllers or suth ?
 
SATA II bumps the maximum throughput up to 300 MB/sec, and adds NCQ, hotplug and staggered spinup support.

Not exactly, many drive manufacturers were simply using PATA <-> SATA bridges on the drives. Seagate always used native SATA controllers, and I think most others are native now as well.
 
What does 300MB/sec pertain to? Is that the maximum bus speed if you are running 8+ drives in raid 0?
