Replacing C drive in Dell Optiplex 980, bus speed question
Question is about a Dell 980 Optiplex computer running Windows 7 Pro.
The C drive has failed. All I want to know is :
- The bus speed for the SATA drive in the Dell service manual says 1.5gb and 3.0 gb/s
- I purchased a Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 rpt 64mb cache SATA 6.0Gb/s internal drive.
What problems would I experience if I install this WD drive into the Dell?
What needs to be done to enable a 6.0Gb/s drive to work with a computer having a bus speed of 3.0Gb/s?
