You're mistaking terms - SATA III (6 Gb/s) vs. SATA II (3 Gb/s)
And, yes, you can use a SATA III device in a SATA II port.

To add to that, yes a SATA III can plug into a SATA II port, BUT your going to max out (as I am) on the bandwidth (3Gb) so the performance is cut in half of what you could be getting.
