I did learn that SATA II is the old name of the group evolving the SATA standard and doesn't appear to indicate an actual protocol. I assume this means I can use a SATA 150 drive.

So if you have a controler that can support SATA II speeds and an equivalent cable, -you will probably be good to go. -On Thu, Jun 01, 2006 at 04:26:10AM -0600, Mike Keithley wrote: -> Hello list, -> -> I'm thinking of getting a second SATA drive for my PC.
