I have purchased a Rosewill (RX358 V2) external enclosure so I can add a new hard drive. The enclosure is a 3.5" SATA to USB 2.0 & eSATA. I plan to buy a Western Digital 1 TB 7200 HDD and have noticed on the Newegg site that some customers have mentioned that they ordered a SATA II 3.0 GB/s drive and they got a SATA III 6.0/s GB version. My question concerns the compatibility of the 6.0 version drive to the enclosure that I already have. I would think that the only issue would be that the electronics in the enclosure will not move data faster than 3.0GB/s. Is there any way to know in advance if there will be compatibility issues when I purchase a new drive?
Thanks in advance for any information,
Tom
