Hi guys,
I have a hard drive from my previous computer I would like to temporarily install into my new system. Problem is, the motherboard (Asus Z270-AR) has 6 x SATA III (6.0) connections, and the hard drive is an old WD Caviar Green (model no. WD20EARS-00MVWB0). I think but am not 100% certain it will be SATA I connection. I've read that SATA III is backwards compatible with SATA II, but what about SATA I?
So, is there anyway I can connect this and it will work?
Reason I would like to do this is simply for quick file transfer between my old and new hard drive.
I've tried searching for the answer, but all questions i've seen answered were for the same problem backwards, where the HDD was the SATA III version and the mobo SATA II etc.
