mercury_in_flames Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Can someone tell me whether S-ATA/300 is the same as SATA II, or just whether my motherboard, which says it supports S-ATA 300, can take this hdd?http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=316693 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atrain Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 sata I & sata II are backwards compatible like USB 1.1 & USB 2 [iirc]you'll just be restricted to the slower of the types if either the mb or drive only supports 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the hard-drive manufacture's website. I have a seagate SATA2 HD that are not recognized by my motherboard. Turns out I have to put a jumper on the hard-drive if I attach the drive to a SATA 1 controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
