mobo compatibility
i decided to go with seagate 7200.10 series instead of raptor after most responses favoring seagate.
looking at one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148155 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148143 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148144 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148140 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148139 i have this motherboard- http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/...ries=1&model=4 which says it supports SATA but dont know if it supports SATA 2. does seagate 10 require sata 2 on mobo? |

 just read one of the review on newegg.Performance is limited by your motherboards specs, so some will not get the speed possible. my mobo is pretty old(1-2year)... should i be worried? |

Just plug in one of the ATA 100s and keep life simple.

SATA 3.0Gbps should work with that mobo. 3.0 is *suppose to* be backward compatible and usually works fine, but there are very rare times it doesn't work (and that is usually with add-on cards from what I've heard.)

Intel ICH controllers don't have problems with SATA II drives - it's mostly old Via controllers.
You will NEVER notice a speed difference between SATA I and SATA II. |
