Hi Sergio
Just stumbled over this in my hunt for SATA advice; an instruction I will keep and use soon as I attempt to upgrade my HD
But probably can help me before I buy the HD; my unit has a Intel(R) N10/ICH7 family Serial ATA Storage Controller 27C0, but I have been told to buy a unit with the same SATA?
I'm assuming due to the age of the PC that would be a SATA2, but how do I check that is correct?
Sorry if this seems a silly question, just want to get it right
Many thanks
Richard

Richard these are the specs for your machine Dell OptiPlex 380 Specs - CNET if you scroll down you will see it is 3Gbs SATA and it has DDR3 RAM so not that old mate and if I am not mistaken - I do stand to be corrected any drive that is 6Gbs capable is back compatible on that machine to your 3Gbs SATA ports.Hi Sergio

Hey thanks for this, it's all part of the learning curve (who says you ger too old to learn)
I bought this machine second hand but it seems to be quite a well screwed together and worth playing with
as I bumble my way through
Once again many thanks
Richard
