Hello!
I have this mobo:
http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=12&l3=45&model=407&modelmenu=1
In the manual, it syays: 2x Serial ATA with RAID 0, 1 function
Now, I have been using IDE all my life, and I am just getting into SATA. I know it uses a differnt power connector, so I will get that. I went to newegg to see what SATA drives they have. They have Serial ATA150 drives and SATA 3.0Gb/s. I am going to guess that the 3.0gb one, I don't have, and only newer mobos have that. I ask that can if I use both Serial ATA150 drives and SATA 3.0Gb/s(the 3.0gb drive will just downgrade the speed and work?). If there is any more info I need to know about SATA, that would help me out! Also if you know any HDDs that have SATA that would work w/ my mobo would also help me out.
Thanks!
