Hi, Is this backwards compatible with SATA II?

Yes this HD will work on a SATA II two connection. The bottle neck is the SATA II connection it will work but wont be as fast as a SATA III connection.

Yes, SATA 3 is designed to work with SATA II, although at SATA II speeds. Either way it will still be faster than a normal magnetic drive. I'm using this specific SSD on a evga x58 motherboard with SATA II and it works fine. I also tried a Corsair Neuron GTX on the same motherboard and it runs perfectly with Windows 7. Just be sure to check with your motherboard vendor regarding SATA mode (AHCI, IDE or mixed) as you may have to update your BIOS to get it to work. Good luck!

Yes it is compatible, it's transfer rate will be lower but it'll work just fine.

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.

Yes. It's the same connection for all sata ports and they are backwards compatible.

Sata III is backward compatible with SATA II and I. As is SATA II backward compatible to SATA I. But SATA I cannot run a SATA II or III drive. But i'm assuming this is the answer you were looking for as your question was a bit vague.

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.

The sata connection should be the same but you will need adapter to hold the 2.5 drive in place.

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

It is compatible with SATA III. However you will never reach those speeds with conventional hard drives.

I am sorry I can not give you an answer. The sata connection is an older version that only is workable with either an adapter plate or cable, which would make the enclosure unusable.

Yes. I simply added a formatted 500 gig sata drive and it works fine. That is if it doesn't come with one in the box....check to see what it is listed with.

Shouldn't be an issue. Sata III is backwards compatible. If you're able to fit your data, this SSD will make your older notebook fly. A most-impressive upgrade!

Your answer to both is yes because SATA is Serial ATA drive. Happy hunting.

SATA III drives do work on SATA II setups. It will just run at the SATA II specs. I have the 2TB version of this drive on a SATA II bus and it works fine. I remember looking for SATA II drives last July and they weren't nearly as available as SATA III and it wouldn't have saved me any money.

The short answer is, yes. Though the drive is rated to work on SATA 6GB/sec it is backwards compatible and should work.
