Does SATA 2 or 3 matter for HDD?

“SATA II 3.0Gb/s vs SATA III 6.0Gb/s: No performance difference for hard drives! SATA 3.0 Gb/s (SATA II) and SATA 6.0Gb/s (SATA III) refer to the speed of the connection between the drive and the motherboard. However, the best hard drives reach about 210MB/s (or 1.68Gb/s) in best scenarios.
