Another SATA question.
Discussion
Just a quickie to check this'll work.
Mobo has SATA-RAID but is quite old so will be the original SATA specs.
Eyeing up a SATA-II 500Gb drive.
Looking around the net it seems that SATA-II is backwards compatible with the older/slower system so the drive will work but be hypothetically slower, is this correct?

To be honest SATA II is more then just speed. At the moment drives are not hitting the upper limit of SATA let alone SATA II. Even though the interface is faster the drive is not able to ramp up to those speeds.
There are other standards in SATA II but as you say they are backwards compatiable.
In summary yes it would be fine to put II into I but dont worry about speed as dount you would see a difference even on a SATA II board.
