hi guys, i have a question. If your motherboard can only support SATA upto

Storage Controller ATA-133, Serial ATA-150 (RAID). And you buy a hard drive wich supports SATA II/300mbps. Will it work on the motherboard? I imagine it will just run at a slower speed, is that right?

The spec for my motherboard is here:

Yes SATA II is backward compatible and will run at the slower speed...

There have been some report of issues with backward compatibility. For this reason at least some SATA manufacturers provide a jumper to set the drive to SATA I.

SATA1 & SATA2 do have their advantages, but they're generally no faster than IDE/ATA100.
