SATA is 6 Gbps, not 6 GBps. Tiny cheap drives like the ones in this article are the only ones that struggle to saturate a SATA link during sequential transfers. Any NVMe drive 1TB or larger will offer sequential read performance several times higher than SATA could handle, and if it's a TLC drive rather than QLC the sequential write performance will also generally be at or above the SATA limit even after the SLC cache runs out.
