Will this HDD work with my motherboard ?

« on: October 09, 2010, 07:48:25 pm »

Guys
I need to invest in a bigger HDD for my MA790FX-DS5 and really like the look of the one shown below. My question is will it be compatible with my motherboard as its a SATA3 ?
Thanks guys

Hi there,

I don't see a problem as SATA 3 6GB/s HDD's will work on SATA 2 but they will only run at SATA 2 speeds.
I'm using a 640GB Western Digital Black SATA 3 on my own system, a GA-790XTA-UD4 Mobo on a SATA 2 port without a problem.

OK, thanks for that. Thought it would be ok but always best to check.

I agree, always better safe than sorry.
