Is it SATA 3.0 or 6.0?

There is no SATA 6.0. SATA 3 is 6.0 Gbps (Gigabits per second) so this is probably where your confusion comes from.So it's the best SATA there is.

According to information at Crucial.com and Hardocp.com (http://m.hardocp.com/article/2010/02/20/sata_6gbs_on_your_new_motherboard/#.UvNcini9LCQ) the M500 series are 6g/s (SATA 3.0) and fully 3gb/s (SATA 2.0) compatible.

Sata 6gb, the difference is speed...to benefit from the 6gbs, you have to have a compatible motherboard or else it will work on 3gbs (which would be fast anyways)

if the package says they have a 1.5 ghz transfer rate, then you will NOT get the 6gps of SATA 3. These will still work, you just wont get 100% performance out of them.

The Seagate Constellation ES2 3TB drives I picked up are model ST33000650NS. They were all brand NEW with the 5 YR warranty. All SATA3 6Gb/s 64MB Cache.

No, see http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/difference-between-sata-and-esata/

Probably because it doesn't really matter. SATA 6 Gb/s is just marketing for a mechanical drive. No mechanical HDD can even saturate the SATA 3 Gb/s spec.

Previous helpers don't understand the question, SATA 3 6GB/S is a data cable.... You don't need to buy any special power cable, recent power supply, come with these connectors. Wouldn't be healthy for your new HDD, if you are planning to use an old or low quality power supply

I don't know. All I can find is this: Max. 5Gbps (USB 3.0), Max. 480Mbps (USB 2.0) & SATA 3Gbps

The user manual, last updated in 2008, says, "Two Hard Drive Bays for 3.5" SATA Hard Drives of Any Capacity". The list of tested hard drives was last updated in November 2012 at http://support.dlink.com/list.aspx?type=1&model;=DNS-321%20hard%20drives. If the drive you want to use is not listed, you might try contacting customer support.

it's just a spec:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA#SATA_revision_3.0_-_6_Gbit.2Fs_-_600_MB.2Fsread on...

It has 2 x 6Gbps SATA, 4 x 3Gbps.2 x PCIe 3.0 x161 x PCIe 3.0 x82 x PCIe 2.0 x11 x PCII think that's it.

I don't think it matters. From the PDF it looks like they're both sata connections. I think I picked the one that gave the hard drive the most room.

No, this is SATA; IDE is defunct. You can use that old drive as a paper weight. Also get a Solid State Drive and enjoy about 10x improvement in hard drive speed. SSDs are worth every penny.

No. Only SATA I and II. Complies with SATA I / II, speed up to 3G/sec, Complies with USB 3.0, speed up to 5G/sec(www.rosewill.com/products/1887/ProductDetail_Overview.htm)

No, Because there is only 2x Sata 6Gb/s and 4x Sata 3Gb/s everything is on the Intel Chipset.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards. Hope this helps
