Is this drive SATA 2 compatible?

It is SATA-2 compatible. However it will run at slightly lower that 1/2 speed depending on board chip set, X58 being suggested as a good one. The other catch is that the current controller chip must be a SandForce controller chip since it handles many features on the drive. I replaced a 64GB SD Boot drive on my laptop with a 256GB SSD SP900 and ran a clean install of Windows 8 with no problems.

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

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

Most SATA3 devices are compatible with SATA1 and SATA2. Definitely research, but from experience most likely you're fine.

Yes, it will work with any Sata based drive. There isn't a speed difference between sata cables, so go for style more than anything

Yes, you have a SATA controller so this drive will work. You should be able to install an even larger drive if you want as well.

Yes, it is compatible, although you wouldn't reach this drive's max potential.

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 is Sata II or SATA III compatible. If you do not understand the interface for HDD you probably should not be building a computer or buying components.

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

Any 2.5" hard drive, regardless of manufacturer, should work as long as it is SATA. Your SATA drive should be no exception and should work perfectly.

Yes it should be compatible. It's a sata drive, so as long as your computer has available sata data and power cable you should be fine.

Yes. Just make sure the old drive is SATA. Remember to format it to windows file system NTSF if using windows.

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

Yes, no problem. I personally use a standard SATA drive through, I need the capacity. Works like a charm...

SATA3 drives are backwards compatible with SATA1. It's merely a bandwidth upgrade that you won't be able to take advantage of. So you should be alright with this drive though you might lose a bit of performance in the read speed in some instances.
