is SATA2 backwards compatible with SATA?
Yes I did some reading up on this as I ordered a sata-300(sata2) hard drive and a sata-150(sata) motherboard, and it turns out they are backwards compatible.![]()

got some sweet deals on SATA2 drives atm,
but I got plain old SATA on my mobo

oh, and it looks like I missed something![]()
that was the info I was looking for right?SecureConnect - provides a 500 percent stronger cable-to-drive connection than first-generation SATA hard drives and cables. Also ensures backward compatibility with legacy SATA cables and backplanes.

Sheesh.
Does you're motherboard even support SATA 2?
BTW, get your RAID array up and running yet?
Well, didya?
Hurry, hurry.
SATA 3 is just around the corner, pretty soon you'll be so far from the cutting edge that you won't even see the blood.

I am posting now, from the raid, althought I had some problems, like not knowing how to set up raid and whatnot, and then for some reason it kept crying grub error, but alas it booted. I need to find a bench mark tool now.

HD Tach.
Merry Christmas.
