    SATA II (Which is largly the standard nowadays) is back compatible with SATA I (Which you have).So you can use pretty much any drive out there,although they willl probably bottleneck because of the interface.Anyway,I'll go ahead and recommend the Samsung F3 500GB,its one of the best performing drives going and its quite cheap at €46

    I have 2 of them in RAID0 my self and the performance has blown my socks off !
