Capital "B" stands for BYTES. Small "b" stands for bits.
You stated 6 GigaBYTES/sec when you meant to say 6 gigabits/sec.
Always use a BIG B when stating parallel bus data rates. Always use small b
when stating serial interconnect data rates. SAS and SATA are serial
interconnect technologies.
You've formed a bad habit which may be difficult to break. Nonetheless, you
must break this habit if you want those reading your text to correctly
understand what you're saying.
