    I'm wondering if there is any real improvement in data transfer with SATA II hard drives? I currently have two SATA II drives on a SATA I motherboard. Will I see any improvement in transcode speed by changing to a SATA II motherboard?

    The actually fact that you need when encoding anything is the ram and processor power, i advise a mac mini or imac, dual core's and up to 3 gigs of ram, I encode dvd to xvid in a hour flat high quality and 2 passes.

    No, there is no advantage using SATA II HDD's over SATA I HDD's. or for that matter, over PATA. The hard drives themselves are physically incapable of reading/writing at the data rate that even PATA UDMA100 or 133 can sustain.
