Plug a Sata 150 hard drive into a Sata 300 controller

A2007 · 2008-01-21 14:11:13

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,

A
