Re: Sata?

Yes you can run an sata150 drive on a mobo that supports sata3.0, they are backward compatible. Neither drive is capable of saturating the bandwidth alloted, hence the raptor (10,000 rpm) is still slightly faster than the 7200 rpm 3.0 drive. Since each sata channel is independent of each other each drive will perform to the best of its abilities, there should be no real settings to play with if the bios detects them properly.
