Will this motherboard work with SATAII

will this mobo : Gigabyte GA-M720-US3 AMD Nvidia 720D Socket AM2+ 7.1 channel audio ATX Motherboard - Ebuyer workwith my old sataII HDD as this mobo has 3GBs transfer rate the same as a SATAII drive does and i was told it will take it.

Yes it will..
Would SATA1 work on SATA2 mobo or are the connectors different, anyone?
