Well I think SATA II (3Gbit/s) hard disks wouldn't even saturate SATA I (1.5Gbit/s) anyway. However over time improvements to speeds of disks are made. Each generation should be faster than the previous one (obviously you have to compare similar disks). So the SATA II (3Gbit/s) disks would probably be a bit faster than the 1.5Gbit/s ones (which would be older). Likewise for SATA III (6Gbit/s) vs SATA II (3 Gbit/s). The first-gen Pro does have SATA II (3Gbit/s) ports. It will work with SATA III (6Gbit/s drives) but at SATA II (3Gbit/s) speeds (not that a SATA III HDD would be expected to saturate a SATA II connection anyway).
Different users have different needs. Choose the capacity that's right for you.
Currently I have 6x1.5TB disks and I'm using X-RAID2 dual-redundancy which gives me about 5.4TB of space.
