ok SATA150 and SATA 3.0Gb/s ... can you run one on the other? What is the best way to get the drives to perform the fastest?

for the SATA150 the 10,000RPMs
-Avg. Latency time is about 2.9ms
-Avg. seek time is about 4.5ms
-Avg. Write time is about 5.2ms

for the SATA 3.0Gb/s 7,200RPMs
-Avg. Latency time is about 4.2ms
-Avg. seek time is about 8.9ms
-Avg. Write time is about 10.9ms

now im not sure if because the SATA 3 is 2times faster if that means the times are cut in half? But if its not ture can i run a SATA150 drive on a SATA3.0 mother board?
