but im not sure my mobo has sata2 im just wondering is sata2 back compatable

[kalniel]

Yes, but you will only be able to use the features provided by your SATA controller. Which make very little difference in real world terms

[zulander]

just check the instructions on the hard drive im assuming thats what your getting, on mine u just change the jumper over or take it out in some cases and away u go

Yeah, it should work, SATA2 uses the same connector as SATA, and is backwards compatible. However, you will find that the bandwidth is limited, but very small difference in real terms.
