Installing a sata 3 HDD on a sata 2 MB

[MasacruAlex]

Will a Seagate Barracuda 2tb(Marketed as SATA 3(600mb) work at its maximum on a Sata 3gbs MB? I've read that most HDD's don't make use of the SATA 3's speeds unless we're talking SSD's in raid, so I'm not sure how it goes.

3 gbit/s = bytes/s by dividing with 8.
375 megabytes/s. Does Seagate Barracuda run at speeds anywhere close to that? (Answer is: NO)

HDD will work just fine but SSD wont
