Sata-II Question

[gazozborne]

If i buy a SATA-II drive would i be able to plug it into the SATA1 connector instead?

Motherboard only has one Sata2 port and 2 Sata1 ports and im not sure whether i can just plug new into old and have reduced speed instead?

Thanks

ah excellent, cheers!

Now the question is, do i get an internal or external?

Wanting 500GB and as theres only £15 difference im not sure what to get, has to be reliable though as my 2 Seagates recently died. Mostly used for backing up DVD's/Music etc.

thanks
