Are these drives the same?

I'm looking to add another drive to my PC, and was just fine adding a duplicate of what I currently have:

Code:

---

                        Serial Number          WD-WCAPD1758895

                        LBA Sectors          625142448

I saw this drive, which may be the same, but from the Everest report, it lists my current drive as, "SATA-II", but the one in from the link only says, "SATA".

Is this something I need to pay attention to?

Yes. (the faster drive will communicate with the slower drive...at the slower drives transfer rate.)

Peace bd

The link says: SATA 3.0Gb/s


The 3.0Gb/s is SATA II

Check here: http://www.intel.com/technology/seri...pdf/NP2108.pdf

It is the same drive.

WD3200KS

That's enough to identify the exact model.

The only differences may be in the revision, which refers to the electronics on the circuit board and shouldn't concern you unless they've made a major balls up on one particular revision.
