Nope. It's SATA2, though from the mediocre to poor reviews, I'd still avoid it.

SATA1 = SATA I = SATA/150 = SATA 1.5Gb/s = 150 MB/s transfer speed
SATA2 = SATA II = SATA/300 = SATA 3.0Gb/s = 300 MB/s transfer speed
SATA3 = SATA III = SATA/600 = SATA 6.0Gb/s = a proposed standard with no currently produced hard drives (at least from major manufactureres WD, Maxtor, Seagate, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Samsung)
