Hey guys,
I had a quick Q about cables for some SATA harddrives im getting. Ill have a 250 GB WD SATA 300 HD and a 74gb Raptor (SATA 150) coming and was wondering if anyone could verify that a SATA 300 cable is indeed backwards compatiable with a SATA 150 drive. Yeah, its a noob question, but im used to IDE :)
Also, im looking at the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe motherboard and am wondering if anyone who has it can verify that the contents of "2 x ASUS EZ-Backup SATA cables" means that they are regular harddrive SATA cables, or if they are something else and I need to buy a couple to go with my new harddrives and mobo? Heres a pic of the ones it includes, I can't tell if they are for something else or not.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.asp?Image=13%2D131%2D025%2D02%2Ejpg%2C13 %2D131%2D025%2D03%2Ejpg%2C13%2D131%2D025%2D04%2Ejp g%2C13%2D131%2D025%2D05%2Ejpg%2C13%2D131%2D025%2D0 6%2Ejpg%2C13%2D131%2D025%2D07%2Ejpg%2C13%2D131%2D0 25%2D08%2Ejpg&CurImage=13%2D131%2D025%2D04%2Ejpg&Description=ASUS+P5W+DH+DELUXE%2FWIFI%2DAP++Socket +T+%28LGA+775%29+Intel+975X+ATX+Intel+Motherboard+ %2D+Retail
