“it says it is a sata drive, but in the specs it says Maximum Data Transfer Rate 147 megabytes per second, that's slower than usb. Is it a misprint?”

• The interface is SATA. That doesn't mean you will get SATA speeds. Hard drives are typically very slow compared to SSDs. This one is no exception. Don't use it as a boot drive. Only use this for extra storage.
