Erm, gonna need to be a bit more clear on what you're talking about..

 

[xMalcom]

If i have a 1.5 or 3 gb's sata port can i use it on a 6gb's

 

[carnageX]

So, to be clear, you're asking if you can use a SATA HDD that's 6gbps (SATA III) in a 1.5 (SATA I) or 3 gbps (SATA II) port?

Yes, you should be able to. It will just run at the bandwidth of the port.

What about vice versa

What about vice versa

Same thing. It will only perform at the speed of the slowest component.

HDD's aren't limited in SATA2 ports, to be clear.
