Does this work with SATA II

I'm not 100% sure, but as I remember, it doesn't. Eventhough if it would, I wouldn't recommend it, because that would definitely affect its performance and speed.

Athough the Caviar Black has a SATA III interface, my understanding is that SATA III is bacward compatible with SATA II. And I think SATA III is overkill for mechanical disk drives.

The SATA lll hard disc drive is backward compatible to SATA ll. It may require an adjustment to the jumpers on the drive.

This Drive is SATA3, but conforming to SATA3 means that SATA1 and 2 will still function. You just won't get the full performance the drive is capable of. It will plug and play with a SATA2 connection.
1682598
Yes it will but not at the highest speed capable in SATA3. Still is quite fast, either way.

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 WD1002FAEX is a SATA III drive, but will work in a SATA II machine. You jumper pins 5-6, defaulting the transfer speed to SATA II.

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

It should work fine, though I haven't used that brand drive myself. It's the correct type (SATA III).

Standard SATA connectors, will work with any SATA port. May not be the cheapest drive you can buy for what you're describing, but that's your call.

Yes, it will work with mostly any SATA device, however, the form factor is more geared toward optical drives. you would need adapter rails to get a hard drive to stay put in the casing.

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

It should work with all SATA drives. Don't know if this particular drive fits in the case they give you. But the cable should work.
90455
Yes. They should all be backwards compatabile for SATA. I used with SATA III as well.

Yes. Sata 3 drives are backwards compatible with Sata 2 Connections and vice versa. But you'll be capped with Sata 2 speed.

As Richard says, it is supposed to work but in my experience it does not even for SATA II. For SATA III, if it worked at all and that is very unlikely, it will be so slow, you might as well write the data by hand.

if your Hard drive is a IDE connection and 3.5 inchs then as far as I know yes it should work. I find it hard to imagine you have an IDE hard drive that is 2 tb its more likely SATA connection but I suppose it is possible. :) hope that helped a bit

Yes it will. Note that the slot on top works with SATA only. For older IDE drives, you will have to use the included cables.

No it is SATA II judging from my current SSD speeds.I am using it now and wish I knew before purchasing...

All SATA Drives are backward compatible. Go to for a summary: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8142/~/difference-between-sata-i,-sata-ii-and-sata-iii

This is a IDE HDD Enclosure Case, so NO it will not work with a sata drive no matterwhat the operating system.

It works with any Sata drive. Mine is Seagate 5400.6 500GB. I am sure it works with your hard drive

Most Sata connectors are backwards compatible. Just do a quick Google search.
