The SATA alliance did not want to use the name SATA3 since it could easily be confused with SATA3Gb/s (sometimes, though not officially, called SATA2). And yes, the OP is right - 6 Gigabits per second, not 6 Gigabytes per second. 8bits per byte, so ~750MB/s peak, although I think the published theoretical is lower. It's not SATA3, it's SATA6Gb/s.
