    you mean on a port/connector for 3Gb?

    Yes. Some drives might have a Jumper to switch on them for running on 2nd Gen SATA. Others may be more "plug'n'play"

    SATA, just like most Serial Data interfaces these days (USB, SATA, PCI Express) are backwards compatible for the most part with previous generations, with a few exceptions or conditions, but for most part are Backwards Compatible.

    I'm sure there are some Motherboards out there, and 6Gb drives that might not play nice with each other, but in general it should work.

    Your "backward compatibility" mileage may vary.
