The best I've seen so far has been 118MB/sec from a stand alone 3.5" drive. Even the 15000 rpm SCSI devices out there top out at 89MB/sec. In every case out there right now that isn't a RAID box, there isn't a single standard drive that has exceeded the SATA 1 spec as of yet.

Still - there is no guarantee that you'll get a drive with a SATA connector on it - because a native USB 3 connector on the drive would meet or exceed all three SATA bus saturation points (5Gbit/sec vs the ELECTRONICS value of SATA 1 thru 3 - going as high as 6GBit/sec) - even though the drive itself isn't going to get past the 120MB/sec that is simply the FACTS OF LIFE & Physics of trying to slam a mechanical device around and achieve rates of transfer that a CHIP supports, but real life cannot. With USB 3, however, there is a much better chance that they will state "Caviar XX" on the drive box. That's what you get for your 90 Day Warranty - such a bargain! They don't even guaranty that it will be a SATA drive - it could have Native USB as the controller card on the drive itself. Not even the brand of drive inside the case!! WD states on their site (as I noted in a post last week about drive performance (via USB across drives from 6 years old to brand new, via USB 2) - that they guaranty NOTHING except the capacity of the drive in their USB 2 and FW400 cases. Note, however, that the drives used in a USB 3 drive are going to be MUCH MORE CAPABLE than any drives in a USB case, and may even state what drive is in the box.

The 1.5TB for $60 isn't bad at all- I paid $60 for the same item at Best Buy just about 6 weeks ago, for a Mac edition MyBook of 2TB capacity.
