HDD sata confusion

[mingy345]

So say you have a mobo with a sata 6Gb/s socket. And you have a HDD that is 3Gb/s. Can you have a 3Gb/s sata cord and still be able to be compatible, and does the HDD have to be compatible with the 6Gb/s.

theyre all backwards compatible

You can plug a SATA II (3 Gb/s) device into a SATA III (6 Gb/s) port and everything will work just fine.
