Hi, I'm trying to replace DVD for SSD drive in my DELL SFF 3020. I see you can buy adaptor which use only 2 wire Power for Sata, and I assume DVD works with Sata2 port. Do you think this will work OK ? Which SATA will work best for primary W drive (SSD), Sata 3 or Sata2 ?
One more time there is only 2 SATA ports in SFF.

Thanks

Solution
Yes it will work and it it should be put on the Sata3 port. The HDD can go on the Sata2 and will not suffer any performance degradation. Basically, most HDD's cannot transfer data faster then sata2 speeds.
