Will this HDD work with SATA II?

i would call wd customer support if you want to get a quick answer to this question. don't waste your time searching all of the forums as it is faster to call the company directly. want to get a system that really screams speed wise. buy two velociraptors up to 1tb size and put them in one build in raid configuration which is really easy to do. just ask your local computer repair shop to help you out if you do not want to try this build yourself.

I check Western Design website and here's the spec. Your best bet is go to Western Design website and ask in Forum System Requirements * SATA interface connector on motherboard, or SATA controller card (sold separately) installed in an available 32-bit PCI expansion slot (2.1- or 2.2-compliant). * 3.5-inch internal drive bay.

I don't know if it will. My computer is SATA III. Sorry I am not being much help for you!

It has worked with all my SATA drives from 100GB to 750GB. You'll have to use an adapter for pin conversion.

Yes, these are both SATA drives and have the same capacity, so it should work just fine.

I installed this drive in an Dell Optiplex 740 MT which can handle sata II or sata III hard drives. You need to check the specifications of your motherboards controller and find out if it can handle that type of drive. My processor is an Athlon X2 64.

Yes, the enclosure will work with any SATA drive and is backwards compatible with USB 2

Don't know about your particular hard drive but if your drive has a SATA interface it should. In fact it should also work with any 3.5 inch SATA drive. Plug into a USB 2 or 3 and away you go!

Yes, it should work w/ any 2.5" SATA drive. I've been using it for the past year w/o any problems (knock on wood)

That should work fine with the SATA interface. If you are upgrading I hope you have an "image" of your original drive, or contact Toshiba support to obtain an original disk set for your unit.

I have not tried it, but it should be fine. It doesn't care what SATA drive you plug in really, it's up to the OS to figure that out anyway.

it will work but you wont see the full performance of the drives. you'll get between 300 and 375mb/s on sata 2.

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 should be fine. SATA II drives are supposed to be backward compatible with first-generation SATA motherboards. There are a few exceptions to the automatic adjustment, but WD has a fix for that involving a jumper on the HDD:http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1337

If your hdd is a 2.5 inch sata II type, it should work. I havent tried a sata I hdd.

I cannot answer that. This item didn't work to clone my SATA drive correctly. I returned the item for a refund.

You can use any Sata drive. They must be the same size. If they're dissimilar sizes it will only be as large as the smallest drive. So far it's worked flawlessly

I can't be positive since I don't have that model to test, but it has worked with every SATA drive I used it with, 9 so far, from 300GB to 2TB. Unless there is something very unique about it, there is no reason it won't work. The relatively small size should have no effect if the drive is in working condition.
