techguy21801 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 hi all quick, question, i'm thinking of upgrading my hdd to sata. now i have sata 150 built into my board , but if i buy a sata 3gb drive is it backwards compatible with the sata 150? and also i have the power adapters from molex to sata. do these drives require specific wattage psu's? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) they are backwards compatible, the hitachi are at least, not sure about the WD but they should be. these drives dont need any different power.

Jonic Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 The WD use a jumper for backwards compatibility (you have to set it on Sata 150 tranfer mode operation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
