Hey guys,

A silly question of which I couldn't find the awnser on the web.

I have the Asus Maximus IV Extreme, which has 4x SATA300 and 4x SATA600 connectors. With the Corsair
600T, my Blu-Ray player is in a position where I couldn't use the angled Sata connector and plugged the
angled side in the MB. Same with my SSD, because of this my 2 other SATA300 plugs are blocked.

Now I want to use 2 SATA300 2TB disks, can I just use the SATA600 connectors to plug them in or
won't that work?

Thanks

Yes they are backward compatible.
