You hit the nail on the head, Disk IO & Disk Controllers that is where things start to bottleneck.
Unless you spend "significant $$" on specialist Mobo with 10+ SATA3 ports, or Hardware RAID controller card,
for home usage you have to work with what you have, or can afford.
Even with regular consumer SSD's you really need SATA3, you can easily saturate SATA1/2 with SSD's.
The new m2 SSD's plug straight on Mobos PCIE connectors for that reason.
Quick addition,
Where it sometimes can be confusing, SATA use Gbps(small b) and Disks use M[color=rgb(255, 0, 0)]B[/color]/s(Big B)
So SATA3 6Gbps = 600MB/s, current consumer SSD's(2.5") under the right circumstances can run @ 550MB/s, so close to even SATA 3.0 limit
