What is the approximate data transfer rate of a SATA III (6 Gbps) interface? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

What is the approximate data transfer rate of a SATA III (6 Gbps) interface?
A. 600 MB/s
B. 3 Gbps
C. 150 MB/s
D. 6 GB/s
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
SATA III has a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 6 Gbps, which translates to about 600 MB/s (due to 8b/10b encoding overhead). Actual speeds may be lower.

What is the typical speed of a CD-ROM drive at 52x?
A. 1.3 MB/s
B. 52 KB/s
C. 7.8 MB/s
D. 52 MB/s

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
1x CD speed is 150 KB/s. 52x is 52 * 150 = 7800 KB/s = 7.8 MB/s. So option B is correct.

Which technology is applied in writing data onto a CD-RW disc to allow repeated overwriting?
A. Dye ablation
B. Floating gate transistor charging
C. Phase-change alloy material
D. Magnetic field reversal

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
CD-RW discs use a phase-change material that can transition between crystalline (reflective) and amorphous (absorbent) states via laser heating to clear or write data.
