edit your specs to forum specs.
1. Text-only signatures should have at most 5 lines of text.
sata 2 supposedly transfer at 3gig a sec compared to sata 1 of 1.5g a sec. is compatible with sata 1 motherboard connectors

SATA-II has twice the data transfer rate of SATA-I. I believe the SATA-II has better support for Native Command Queuing, which reduces the amount of head travel (and greatly increases speed) on the drive. SATA-II is backwards-compatible with SATA-I, though I don't know if you buy a drive with NCQ, whether it'll work. But it should.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Yes. Really less latency, although I believe the SATA-II drives themselves are somewhat faster too. Either way, yes, it's faster. If you are comtemplating getting a new drive, I'd get a SATA-II with NCQ. I'm not sure if your motherboard supports SATA-II or NCQ, but at least you'll be ready if you upgrade motherboards.
