UltraATA100 backward compatibility

[Nethawk]

I'm upgrading to new mobo, processor. I have two IBM Deskstar UltraATA66 drives, and want to purchase a third UltraATA100 for the OS and most used programs.

Potentially stupid question, but with UltraATA100 motherboards, is there backward compatibility with UltraATA66 drives? I want to be able to use my old drives.

Thanks much.

Yes, and you can also use ATA100 drives on an ATA66 motherboard.

And it works both ways (66 to 100 and 100 to 66).
