Thank you…..
SATA3 is reverse compatible with SATA1 and 2 devices
Thank you and I love you signature btw… True wisdom right there
Your mobo should have sata 2 and maybe 2 ports sata 3, very few board have all sata3 ports. Like froggy said most all are forward and back ward compatible.
That is, a sata 3 HDD will work on a sata2 port and a sata 2 HDD will work on a sata 3 port.
SSDs are fast , so they should appreciate a sata 3 port

Not when the mobo has garbage Marvell 88se91xx controller, there is no giant leap of speed between the marvell sata 3 and the Ich10r intel sata 2. The marvell runs on a pci bus and can NOT NOT achieve a 600mb read write on one port.
