Question: Does this work with SATA II
Document: This hard drive scores only a 5.9 on my windows experience test, which is the same as the sata II hard drive at my work. I have it plugged into the sata III port as well on my mobo with sata III cables. I am kind of annoyed by that. But hey, at least it is working which is more than I could say about my last few WD hard drives.
I have three of these things. A couple since 2010, I think? Fast drives. Running on SATA II and III.
I bought this for an older computer that uses SATA II. It still works through backwards compatibility. I have been running it for a while now and it is still going.
I use this for video editing and game capture. Awesome is all I can say. Though I'm not sure why it's sold as a SATA III as a selling point, it's not any faster than my SATA II. None the less, it performs great.
I use it for backups and it works great. It's faster than a 1 TB black (WD1001FALS) in both random access and sequential read (as per HD Tach). I use it on an older SATA 3 Gb/s motherboard (Asus rampage II gene).
(II and III respectively) Big MB = Megabytes.But, for the price point and reputation of WD this drive is the best on the market in my opinion.In all ,I highly recommend this SATA III Black 1TB, 64MB cache HD.Update: Defrag a couple of times it is a lot quieter.
Both drives are still under 5-year warranty fortunately and will be RMA'd quite soon. However, I've lost any trust in this particular model from the Caviar Black line. $200 for the these 2 drives is the last I will spend for this model. I'll buy the older SATA II drives where I can find them, but not this one. It has proven itself to be unreliable, unstable, and inconsistent.
WD has been my preference for hard drives for the last couple of years. The Black series offers great performance. If your computer supports SATA III make sure you order the SATA III hard drive it. SATA III supports 600mb/s and SATA II supports 300mb/s. SATA III is backwards compatible with SATA II interfaces, but it will run at SATA II speeds.
I run this in RAID0 for storage with a SSD for the OS. Transfer speeds match specs and are very consistent. Below are a few things to look for in a HD, to help you decide.1. Interface- For a tradition HD, make sure you get one that is SATAIII, the interface directly controls the -maximum speed the HD can talk to the motherboard. SATA II and the even more archaic ATA interfaces are too damn -slow, don't make the mistake.
This is the 4th WD drive I have bought in the past 6 months, 2 Greens (one SATA II one SATA III) ,2 Blacks (1 SATA II one SATA III)counting this one.This SATA III Black 1Tb is by far the best of the group. Yes a little noisy. I have found these drives tend to get quieter after a few months usage.
Answer: The WD1002FAEX is a SATA III drive, but will work in a SATA II machine. You jumper pins 5-6, defaulting the transfer speed to SATA II.
