    Hi,

    I want to buy a 10,000 rpm hard drive. The hard drive is Sata I. My on board controller is Sata II / 300. Is it possible to plug a SATA I device into a Sata II controller?

    If any one knows the answer, I would appreciate your help :)

    cheers,

    Aiden

    There are no issues with plugging 150meg Sata drives into Sata 2 ports.

    You may miss out on some features like tagging, hot-plugging, but these are dependent on specific hard-drive, firmware and controller combinations.

    Lads,

    Thanks for you help. I found the motherboard manual and SATA II is indeed backward compatiable.

    cheers,
