Am trying to put togather a new box. Plan to use AsRock Alive NF5-eSata 2 and an amd processor. Problem; All the optical drives available here (Holland) are either ide(Do not want) or Sata/150(1) I know very little, so can someone kindly tell me how to use sata 1 drives on a board with sata 2 slots. Thanks in advance. :unsure:
