SATA II drive on SATA I port?

[smartech]

I've recently purchased a add-on combo PCI card with 4 USB 2.0, 2 FireWire, 2 SATA I (150), and 1 IDE ports. I originaly searched for just some USB 2 card (sinse my mobo has only 1.1 ports), but find this one quiet cheap and usefull. Also I planned to buy another parallel ATA hard drive (no SATA on board as well).

But now, scince I have SATA I on this PCI hub I thought buying SATA drive. The question is, is it will be compatibe to connect there SATA II drive (for future upgrades)? I thought getting WD3200KS drive by the way.

-Thanks.

yeah, SATA and SATA II are completely comnpatible with each other i.e. SATA drives work on SATA II and SATA II drives work on SATA etc.

SATA II on SATA I will be limited to max throughput of SATA I not that we even reached that yet.

yes

it will work

you computer and card limits it in your case before the bus speed,
