[SOLVED] Sata & Sata 2

Emppu · 06-15-2008, 12:53 AM

Hi!

I need a new HD and I was thinkig something like Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB SATA II. My mobo is Asus A8N Sli Deluxe and it has ports for SATA. Question is can I put SATA II HD into SATA port or do I need a new mobo for SATA II? And whats the actual difference between SATA II and SATA?

Thank you in advance!

The board you have supports Sata II, so that is not an issue.
