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. On Thu, 1 Jun 2006, Igor Gueths wrote: ------BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- -Hash: SHA512 - -Hi.
