So this won't work with SATA III?

SATA III is backwards compatible with SATA I & II so it will work with this enclosure

According to the manufacturer specs published, it apparently will... http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model_Specification.aspx?id=C_00001666

all sata 3 drives are compatible with sata 2 interfaces, so yes it should work

It is Sata II or SATA III compatible. If you do not understand the interface for HDD you probably should not be building a computer or buying components.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards. Hope this helps

Dear Jen Unfortunately, I didn't use SATA Yet Because I don't have a Device with this plug. I only use USB 3.0, and my Operating System is Windows 8.1.

Yes. SATA III drive will work in SATA II port at SATA II speed. SATA is both forward and backward compatible.

Yes. It is comparable with all SATA drives. You just wouldn't be able to take advantage of the speeds of SATA III obviously.

SATA 3 should be backward compatible. I use this to clone SATA drives. Contact StarTech.com to be sure.

This is internal drive, so we assume you already have an adapter that convert internal SATA port to eSATA2. If that's the case it will work.

if the package says they have a 1.5 ghz transfer rate, then you will NOT get the 6gps of SATA 3. These will still work, you just wont get 100% performance out of them.

Yes, "SATA III" as you listed in the question - is the indicator that this is the right cable

Don't see why not. Mine works with my Crucial M500 2.5 inch SATA III SSD, so seems likely.

Standard SATA connectors, will work with any SATA port. May not be the cheapest drive you can buy for what you're describing, but that's your call.

Most SATA3 devices are compatible with SATA1 and SATA2. Definitely research, but from experience most likely you're fine.

SATA3 drives are backwards compatible with SATA1. It's merely a bandwidth upgrade that you won't be able to take advantage of. So you should be alright with this drive though you might lose a bit of performance in the read speed in some instances.

I haven't tried it with SATA II or SATA III drives. Sorry about that. I have found that it is not very dependable for simply using hard drives as USB drives - sometimes the computer fails to recognize drives plugged into the Calvary duplicator.

The board does not support SATA III, but the specification is backwards compatible with SATA II. So it will work fine but you won't realize the increased speed that SATA III provides. Not really a big deal.
