The hard drive, Maxtor 250Gb SATA, on my computer has recently failed. The motherboard is an Asus P5GDC Deluxe: could you please tell me if a SATA I or SATA II should be fitted. I cannot determine from the Asus website which is supported.


Thanks

Tom Green

Apparently - SATA I:
Serial ATA 2 (SATA II) - No
ASUS P5GDC Deluxe Product Information - PriceRunner

Just to add:

Any SATA drive you buy today will be SATA II.

There is a jumper on the rear to reset it to SATA I.

Most sata II drives are backwards compatible I do believe like jephree said just adjust the pin

Thanks for answering my query so promptly, I now know which way to go.
