ASUS Launches P6X58 Premium w/6Gb/s Sata

ASUS launches P6X58 Premium with SATA 6 Gb/s Support
At the booth of ASUS we found a motherboard that supports the brand-new SATA 6 Gbit/s standard that was released just a few days ago. ASUS prepared a running demo that showcases the performance differences between SATA-II and SATA-III. Unfortunately we were too far away to really take a look at the performance numbers.
The main improvement of SATA III is that it doubles the available bandwidth again, to reach 6 Gbit/s. While no current mechanical harddrives can reach such speeds, there are several SSDs out there that can saturate a 3 Gb/s link. Other improvements include an optional smaller connector for 1.8" devices and improvements to Native Command Queuing (NCQ). By the way, the official name is "SATA 6 Gbit/s", not "SATA III" or "SATA 3.0", yes I know I got it wrong in this post.
