How can I determine whether a given SSD and motherboard are compatible?
How can I determine whether a given SSD and motherboard are compatible?
For example, I have an OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTX50G 2.5" 50GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive and a GIGABYTE GA-H67A-UD3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel motherboard.
Solution 1:
Yes, SATA1/2/3 are backwards/forwards compatible with each other (with some exceptions, see here).
