SATA 3 motherboards
Does Dell make any computers with these motherboards? The computers I looked
at mentioned SATA 3.0 and a Dell rep mistakenly told me that it meant SATA 3. |

(for example "SATA 3" as contrasted with "Asus" or "Gigabyte") Are you looking for a model? (for example "Companyxx SATA 3" as contrasted with "Asus P9x79") Are you looking for a feature? (for example support for "SATA III", which might be called "SATA 3".) In this case most any motherboard manufacturer has a bunch. As you confused with "USB 3.0"? (which is another data transmission method of about 6 gigabits/second) Are you confused with PCI Express 3.0? (also known as PCIe 3) Are you asking about Thunderbolt? (which is another data transmission method, developed by Intel with codename "Light Peak".) |

I assume the answer is "No".
But why not? SATA III has been around for a few years. |

I'd expect that Optiplex 790 and Dell Precision T5600 and T7600 have support SATA III 6gb/s on the motherboard. They are sold with SATA III drives, but the specs I saw didn't actually say that the motherboard had 6gb/s support, so you'd have to check further for real specs. |

That's what started this investigation. A friend recently bought a Dell Precision T5600 with a SATA III SSD. The motherboard is SATA II. I contacted Dell and found they don't have SATA III motherboards. |
