Fact is: That speed is fake, it can't be real. Your harddisk doesn't even have that kind of data transfer rate.

It's perfectly possible, any SATA drive should be able to pull that read/write speed with few issues. As for the download speed, ir's not that far off. I myself have reached 3 mb/s on my cruddy Earthlink DSL from the valve servers.

If you're talking raw transfer rate, sure. 150mb/s with SATA 2, if I remember correctly. But the problem here is: This isn't raw transfer rate, and the actual rate never really surpasses 70mb/s.

nihilist:
Yes, the 150MB/s (or 300 in the case of SATA-II) are purely theoretical.  To even start hitting 80+MB/s one has to be running a RAID array with a few disks in it, with a controller capable of talking to a bunch of disks at once.

However, 12mb/s can be easily done.  16x DVD burners operate in that land.

SpacemanSpiff:
Heh, for some reason, that read 120mb/s in my head though and that led to the conclusion that this definitely wasn't possible.

Edit: Wait. The image does claim 129mb/s. (Well, actually a bit less, conversion and shit, but yeah)
