Yeah, that :).

The only reason SATA-III spinning rust exists is for marketing purposes 
and because eventually it will be cheaper to use SATA-III for everything 
rather than continuing to make separate SATA-II interfaces for hard 
disks. Unless you're planning to hook up an SSD (or one of the hybrid 
hard drives with a built-in SSD cache) there's really nothing gained 
from SATA-III.
