dwl99 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I will be attaching my Force 3 HDD to a SATA III port with AHCI enabled on my mobo when it arrives. The secondary HDD is a Samsung Spinpoint SATA II. Should I connect the secondary HDD to a SATA II or III port? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardd43 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 If it is a SATA II drive use the SATA II port. No sense using a SATA III port, you might want it for a future upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoLmEr Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The SATA standard is fully backwards compatible, so it shouldn't matter which port you decide to use. Personally, I'd choose the SATA2 port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
