SATA 3
in [Suse]

From: Kevin Miller on 6 Aug 2010 14:00 I want to replace an old 80 GB SATA drive in a Dell Optiplex GX280 with a larger one - maybe up to a 1 TB. The current drives seem to be all SATA 3, drives, with a 300 mbps transfer rate. Will one of those work in an older computer? I don't expect it to run at 300 since the controller is only capable of doing 150 but before I shell out the $ I'd like to at least know they'll speak to each other.

SATA runs at SATA1 1.5Gbit/s, SATA2 3.0Gbit/s or SATA3 6.0Gbit/s. If you upgrade your motherboard you'll be all set. -- LSMFT I look outside this morning and everything was in 3D!

Great! And I can do all that for the price of a 1T SATA, right? :-) -- Kevin Miller Juneau, Alaska http://www.alaska.net/~atftb In a recent poll, seven out of ten hard drives preferred Linux.

Hmmm - not looking for bleeding edge, just a bit more real estate. Think I'll just stick w/a new HD for now... -- Kevin Miller Juneau, Alaska http://www.alaska.net/~atftb In a recent poll, seven out of ten hard drives preferred Linux.
