solo2 HDD

Can i put sata II HDD in Vu+solo2 or the stantard is only for sata?
What is the benefit for media? is it necessary for faster connection?
I think the connected cable is the same. Is there any gain to install sataII?
Thanks in advance.

Both SATA and SATA2 hard drives can be used with any SATA controller. If the SATA controller can only handle 150mb/s then a SATA2 drive will function as a SATA drive. Also, any SATA cable can be used for either a SATA or SATA2 drive. Both drives and cables are fully interchangeable.

The transfer speeds of 150mb/s and 300mb/s in no way mean that a SATA2 drive is twice as fast as a SATA drive. Current hard drives are not even able to fully utilize the 150mb/s transfer speed. These numbers are more descriptive of burst speed.

300mb/s eg SATA2 is the maximum burst transfer rate, usually only hit occasionally when transferring large files from 1 SATA2 hdd to another or other large highspeed transfer situations.

Thanks Matrix10. So it is nothing to do for recording media. The meaning is only for transfer speed under preconditions.
Right?
