| 518222 | 2007-01-22 05:02:00 | Quick question - is a SATA-II (300MB/S) HDD compatible with a SATA-I (150MB/S) connector/interface? It seems that there aren't as many SATA-I drives around as SATA-II, and I don't want to end up with a dud. Cheers Lizard |

| 518226 | 2007-01-22 06:11:00 | All the Seagate SATA2 HDD's I've been getting lately have the jumper set to 1.5GB/s (SATA1) by default. You have to change the jumper to make it SATA2 or 3GB/s. I would think that most brands would be like this. |
