| 568591 | 2007-07-13 02:04:00 | SATA 2 hdds have jumpers to switch to SATA 1 . Try looking on the back of it . But they dont have jumpers for Master and slave . As SATA's are only masters, and you cant have 2 hdds on a SATA connection . As Speedy has said there is a jumper on the back of the harddrive to switch from SATA 3 . 0 Gbit/s to SATA 1 . 5 Gbit/s . An interesting side note is that the SATA standard organization that authored the standard for the SATA interface was originally called SATA II and SATA 3 . 0 Gbit/s is the official name for what is generally referred to as SATA 2 or II . You can actually use more than one drive per port using a port multiplier, they're not very common but it is possible . |

| 568592 | 2007-07-13 02:06:00 | I'm aware of this . This MB has 4 SATA connectors, so it shouldn't pose any issue for adding another SATA to it . Am I right? I didnt say there were any issues . I said to check the SATA 2 if u have one, on the back of it (for a jumper), so u can switch it to SATA 1 . If the mobo doesnt support SATA 2 . |

| 568593 | 2007-07-13 02:14:00 | The drive will probably have to be jumpered to SATA 1. one of the computers at work doesn't properly support SATA II so we have to jumper the drives to SATA 1 to get them to work. | Greven (91) | ||
