SATA 2 drive on a SATA 1 controller?
I understand I can safely install a 250GB SATA drive alongside my existing 40GB PATA drive. But can I safely connect a SATA 2 drive to my Dell's SATA 1 controller? (I would like to get SATA 2 pending an upgrade to a new computer, and I have read that SATA 2 is backwards compatible.) Cheers...- Svenghetti
