That is an old board. However, it looks like it reads SATA so you should be good

I think this indicates the type of SATA interface speed. There's SATA I (1.5GB/s), SATA II (3.0GB/s), and SATA III (6.0GB/s). The higher the SATA interface, the greater the potential bandwidth throughput it can support.

Yes. It has 6 SATA connectors. One for your optical drive, 5 for your hard drive. Or if you no longer wanna use your optical drive, have 6 hard drives.

Hey Jim be sure to pick up a couple 4 pin molex to sata adapters. You will need them to make extra sata conecters.

hi, just to clarify, this board has 2 sata III connections which should work with any drive that is compatible with the sata standard. ssd or hdd even a bluray drive. make sure you have the black sata power connectors from power supply too.

It comes with two SATA cables with a total of 5 SATA connectors. If you can't connect your SATA drives you're missing a cable or two.

It has several sata connectors. Probably more than you will ever need unless your building a 12+ disk nas or something similar.

This board requires four 4-pin ATA plugs. The board comes with the four 4-pin ATA plugs. Make sure your have a power supply that will accommodate these plugs. I had to buy adaptors (about $2 each) to plug into the SATA plugs.

2 sata 3 ports are facing up, the other 4 sata 3 ports are right next to those two they are just facing towards the front. That is becoming more common.

if the package says they have a 1.5 ghz transfer rate, then you will NOT get the 6gps of SATA 3. These will still work, you just wont get 100% performance out of them.

How old is the hard drive you're replacing? If it was pre-2005, chances are it's a PATA or IDE drive rather than a SATA type. Is the original connector a large black plastic thing with 40 holes in it (2 rows of 20)? If not, then it's a SATA set-up, requiring 2 connections (one for power and one for data). Just make sure you align the connectors carefully, (even though they won't click in if they're reversed).
