Not the right forum (, but I'll give you some reading to answer your question.

The term SATA II has grown in popularity as the moniker for the SATA 3Gb/s data transfer rate, causing great confusion with customers because, quite simply, it’s a misnomer.

The first step toward a better understanding of SATA is to know that SATA II is not the brand name for SATA’s 3Gb/s data transfer rate, but the name of the organization formed to author the SATA specifications. The group has since changed names, to the Serial ATA International Organization, or SATA-IO.

The 3Gb/s capability is just one of many defined by the former SATA II committee, but because it is among the most prominent features, 3Gb/s has become synonymous with SATA II. Hence, the source of the confusion.

actually, there is no SATA II

SATA II is like a name of the old SATA's committee. this is now call SATA-IO

SATA 3Gb/s is the SATA drive that support 3Gb/s data transfer rate.

you post that while i'm trying to get the above link.
