SATA Backward Compatible?

[Charlie]

I have a MB with SATA I on it at 150 MB/s. Can I use a SATA II drive on
the SATA I controller.
From what I read SATA is backward compatible which I take to mean that
a SATA II drive on that MB will work and run at the SATA I speed.

I don't mean to ask stupid questions, but sometimes.....

Ah... Thank you.

Yes, but check the drive data sheets. Some require you jumper it to tell
the drive you want to run SATA I.
