Hello,
i was planning to get a SATA drive but wanted to ensure that the drive was compatible with my motherboard.
do all the SATA cables (old and new) have a standard interface and the newer ones (SATA 300 Mbps) are backwards compatible with the older ones (SATA 150 Mbps)?
i guess i would have to buy a SATA power cable in addition to the SATA data cable, correct?
have the SATA power cable standards changed, would i be able to use a SATA power cable with my old motherboard (gigabyte 81875 ultra) from 2003?
