Hey all,
I stopped paying attention to the comp. world for about 2 months..... Now i see that there are sata 2 hdds :eek: ! I was wondering if sata 2 will work on my mobo. Also i checked my divice settings and command queing is not enabled, what is your opinion of command queing.

Thanks

SATA II drives are supposed to be completely backwards compatible, they should work fine with the older SATA controller.
When using SATA II on SATA controller there is no Benifit. (it will run at 1.5Gbs)

The Hitachi drives are set for SATA 1.5Gbps from the factory. You will have no problems running them.

When you upgrade to a motherboard or controller that supports SATA 3.0Gbps you can use the FTool software from Hitachi to enable SATA 3.0Gpbs support.
