6.0 sata

[jamesr10962]

Hi, can anyone tell me if Sata 6.0g/bs hdd`s are compatible with Sata 3.0 boards? (gigabyte 880gma) Thanks in advance for any replies

Yes they are backwards compatible.

And you don't really loose any performance since the drives don't spin fast enough to get anywhere near the SATA 3.0 bandwidth cap.
