While this does not match the 1.5Gb/s (not 150mb/s) of the Sata I interface....
What is the long-term road map for SATA?
SATA defines a roadmap starting at 1.5 gigabits per second (equivalent to a data rate of 150MB/s) and migrating to 3.0 gigabits per second (300 MB/s), then to even higher data rates. This roadmap supports up to 10 years of storage evolution, based on historical trends.

but then I've seen multiple instances of case-raping in this thread.
