Will a SATA II HHD, work on my motherboard's SATA port?


Will a SATA II HHD, work on my motherboard's SATA port?

I am a service technician.

Yes, sata II will work on regular sata it will purely run at the slower data rate which is around 150.
If your motherboard individual supports the 1.5 GB SATA, you'll want to check the jumpers on the drive. I know OEM Seagate Barracudas come next to the jumper set to the lower verbs rate and you need to verbs the block to get the faster verbs rate. First off, check what the MoBo will pedal (on the manufacturer's web site) and walk from there. The connections and cable are the same for SATA or SATA II. I am a Seagate Partner Program Member.



So now check the HDD's instruction manual to get the jumper set correctly, if applicable. All the SATA drives I've worked with have jumpers, but maybe not all do. Your mobo should automatically agreement with whichever speed the HDD deliver.
you gave so little info... mention the mobo model!



as mentioned, check the mobo instruction manual if you dont know what sata speed it handles, consequently check the hard drive encyclopaedia to see if it will run at sata1 speeds (if the mobo is only proficient for that)



i have a seagate sata2 drive running at sata1 speeds on a sata1 mobo
