Title says 6GB/s, description says 500MB/s. Why dont they correlate? Is there anything important im missing?

6GB is the SATA spec
500MB/s is what the SSD up to

The capital letters in the above speeds are very noteworthy as well, i.e, 6 Gbps (6 gigabits/sec)translates to approx. 750 MB/sec , or, MegaBytes/sec ...

Actually, the sata III spec is 6Gb/s, that's gigbits. 6Gb/s is 803 MB/s, that's megabytes.
So the drive achieves 500MB on a connection which has a theoretical bandwidth of 803 MB/s.
