    Sata on ECS elite K8m800-me

    Hello everyone.

    My first thread, so don't shout if this has been discussed before.

    I've just obtained a second hand ECS K8m800-m2 computer system.

    I've reloaded windows XP onto the IDE connected hard drive. 80G

    I am thinking of buying a SATA drive. ~250-320G

    I cannot find if the motherboard supports SATA I or II.
    I don't want to waste money on an unusable drive.

    The manual does not say if SATA I or II supported.

    Has anyone any ideas.

    Many thanks

    Pete

    Those are SATA I ports.
    However, if you buy a SATA II drive, it'll just throttle back to SATA I speeds, as SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I.
