creators and knowledgeable people are allowed to work with this device in the mode of the first version SATA1. Mother nVidia3 250. I want to take, but do not know if it will work, try using the recommended WdSSpd-2.0.0.1 to change the SATA. from the official forum - the official response
Hi there, as far as I know you can make a SATA III work as a SATA II if you set a jumper shunt on pins 5 & 6, but it won’t go to SATA I…
Look to the SATA IO specyfication of the SATA 3.0 (sata 600):
http://www.sata-io.org/technology/6Gbdetails.asp
SATA 6Gb/s promises new levels of performance for networks. This specification is backward compatible with earlier SATA Implementations 1.5 and 3Gb/s. This specification maintains the low cost and low power for which SATA is acclaimed.
AND THIS QUESTION:
Q8: What does backward compatible mean?
A8: Backward compatibility means that SATA 6Gb/s hosts and drives will operate when
connected to 3Gb/s or 1.5G/bs drives and hosts, by automatically dropping to the appropriate
transfer rates.
SO THIS SHOULD BE NORMAL TO USE SATA 3(sata 600) on SATA 1.5(sata 150) but how it is in normal world I dont know…

Look to the SATA III (6 Gb/s) Caviar Blue specifications:
http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1400#jumper
It manually needs to set with a jumper to make it work as a SATA II (3 Gb/s), meaning that it can’t work as a SATA (1.5 Gb/s).
Ok i see but in specyfication is information about automatic detection so mabey without jumper it will automaticly work with sata 1.5.GB/s motherboard. I dont know how it is in real world I’m still looking for the some official wd information about that.
Hello to everyone!
This model works on my Asus S478 P4P800-E Deluxe MB with Intel CPU NW 3.0 GHz, but it is not working on S462 with AMD CPU based MB (A7V600, A7V600-X, MSI Delta 6 FISR, …). So, I was lucky to be able to use it, otherwise, :( wasted money and time… HDD is OK, but you can only use it on newer MB with SATA II controlers and of course, SATA 3.
Cheers!
