The Sata II is has a transfer speed that is two times as fast as the original Sata. The Sata has a communication speed of 1.5 Gbit/s while the Sata II is 3.0 Gbit/s.
1m for SATA I, 2m for SATA II
Ø SATA I- 1.5 Gb/sec, SATA II- 3 Gb/sec and SATA III- 6 Gb/sec
There are different interfaces of which hard drives can be connected to the motherboard of computers. ATA- More commonly ATA-133, the newest version not compatible with ATA-100(phased out) Typically this setup uses a Ribbon cable, however there are "Round" cables that have been made to reduce the turbulence and promote airflow inside the cases. These drives typically do not spin faster than 7,200 RPMS. SATA- Serial ATA, uses a thin small cable, typically red. This is the first version, and finding hardware that SATA I is difficult. these drives typicall do not spin faster than 7,200 RPMS SATA II - AKA SATA 3.0 GB, Uses an identical cable, but transfers data much more quickly. Most hard drives and computer accessories that use SATA are SATA II. Typically SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I. These drives are currently capable of spinning to a maximum of 10,000 RPMS SATA III - AKA SATA 6GB/s, use a similar cable but transfers data at twice the rate of SATA II and four times the rate of SATA (first version). SATA III is also backwards compatible. In order to take full advantage of the SATA III technology it is necessary to have a SATA III motherboard, cable and HDD. SCSI- Pronounced "SKUZZY" a high speed interface typically only used on High end workstations and servers. Has high bandwidth and uses ribbon cables similar in look to ATA, but has more pins and a different connector. Older versions for SCSI required "terminators" on the empty connectors however they are becomming less prevalent and are typically not used on the current SCSI 320 Format. These drives are typically the most expensive and rotate the fastest typically 15,000 RPM's

Serial Advanced Technology Attachment Not sure in which context you mean but the normal meaning of SATA is Serial ATA which is the type of transfer architeture insife the PC from the motherboard to the Hard drive. It is a newer faster information transfer type which will make PC run faster and transfer information internally faster in the future.
As far as interfaces goes you have two main types SATA and IDE. SATA being the newer of the technologies and using a small plug type cable to connect to your motherboard, where as IDE uses a wide ribbon type cable to connect to a large slot on the motherboard. There are two types of SATA as well. SATA-I and SATA-II. SATA-I runs at speeds up to 150mb/s and SATA-II runs ar speeds up to 300mb/s. Most motherboards these days take SATA-II devices (Hard drives, optical drives). Hope this answers your question.
No. The Pentium II is much older than an Athlon XP 3200, by about six years. The Athlon XP was designed to compete with early Pentium 4s.
If you're comparing two identical hard drives then it's going to work faster if it's more closely connected to the motherboard.After that it all depends on exactly what you're comparing.Modern interfaces like External Sata and External Sata II have plenty of bandwidth to connect a very fast hard drive to your computer with speed similar to those inside the computer
The price range on a SATA II hard drive would be about $40 for 250 GB drive to $70 for a 500 GB drive by Western Digital. The price will increase with larger sizes.
3.0 GBPS
The B-2's maximum speed is 628 mph while the speed of sound is 768 mph, so ii is subsonic (the B-2 cannot fly faster than sound).
Theoretical maximum throughput: SATA II: 3Gb per second. SATA III: 6Gb per second. The maximum uncoded transfer rates are 2.4 Gb per second and 4.8Gb per second, respectively.
