Maxing out SATA speed?

[Vadamo]

So I have a MacBook Pro mid-2010 13" with the SATA speed of 3Gbps. I wanted to know if I can reach the max 3gbps with a SSD/PCIE to Sata SSD?

I see speeds of 200-300mbps with my current SSD which are great, but I'm curious if I can reach the max 3gbps.

Thanks!

300MBps is roughly equal to 3Gbps, have you got your B's & b's correct in your post?

I think you just need to read a little bit.
Then you can either buy a new laptop or be happy that you're likely, already maxing out the SATA interface.

"SATA I (revision 1.x) interface, formally known as SATA 1.5Gb/s, is the first generation SATA interface running at 1.5 Gb/s. The bandwidth throughput, which is supported by the interface, is up to 150MB/s.

SATA II (revision 2.x) interface, formally known as SATA 3Gb/s, is a second generation SATA interface running at 3.0 Gb/s. The bandwidth throughput, which is supported by the interface, is up to 300MB/s.

SATA III (revision 3.x) interface, formally known as SATA 6Gb/s, is a third generation SATA interface running at 6.0Gb/s. The bandwidth throughput, which is supported by the interface, is up to 600MB/s. This interface is backwards compatible with SATA 3 Gb/s interface."

As others have already said, 3Gbps = ~300MB/s. (After wire and data protocol overheads, you get about 10bits of wire protocol per byte of usable data bandwidth.)
