Title: Hard drive help
Post by: Killer360 on October 05, 2007, 09:15:42 AM
Hello,

Was wondering if this hard drive: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=21932&vpn=0A33435&manufacture=Hitachi

Will work with my mobo? http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=18778&vpn=M2NPV-VM&manufacture=ASUS

I know it says SATA 2 at the top but I'm not sure because it only comes along with "SATA" cables.

Thank.

SATA II uses the same cable.  These are perfectly compatible.

And some additional info, if you buy a SATA(I) drive it will work on a SATA-II compatible motherboard. It just transfers at the slower speed.
