heard that sata 3 drive ia incompatible with sata1 port… :frowning:

What you can do is get a SATA 2 drive and put a Jumper on pins 5 & 6, unfortunately is not possible to lock the SATA 3 drive to match the SATA 1 controller you might need to update the equipment.

using wd5000aaks(sata2) without Jumper…now…

can wd5000aaks compatible with sata1 port without Jumper?  is the old pc compatible with sata2?

bought WD5000AAKX (sata3) yesterday

1st…without jumper…pc can’t detect the new HDD

2nd…jumper on pins 5 & 6…detected by pc , formated & made new subarea

3rd…without jumper… the new subarea still detected by pc…   o_o

the old pc cant support sata3… but WD5000AAKX can be used without jumper now…o_o dont know why…
