SATA drive question

[Mike Keithley]

I didn't see anything about SATA II when looking for drives.  I did learn 
that SATA II is the old name of the group evolving the SATA standard and
doesn't appear to indicate an actual protocol.  I assume this means I can
use a SATA 150 drive.

-Hi. As far as I know, the only thing preventing you from using a higher speed SATA drive is the controler. So if you have a controler that can support SATA II speeds and an equivalent cable, 
-you will probably be good to go.
