Sata 3gb/s Motherboard w/ Sata 6gb SSHD

As the title says, would i be able to use the Seagate ST2000DX001 2TB SSHD with my Gigabyte M68MT-S2 (Socket M2) motherboard.
I really need the speed and extra storage, I just need to know if it is possible as I am changing the motherboard at Christmas but will be keeping the ST2000DX001 2TB SSHD.

A SATA III drive will work with a SATA II motherboard but you'll only get SATA II performance from it.

If you want to take advantage of the full performance potential of a SATA III drive, make sure the motherboard you buy at Xmas has SATA III ports.

but are you sure it will work as it is a SSHD (solid state hard drive), its expensive for me that's why i'm asking.

The fact that it's an SSHD makes no difference (and SSHD stands for solid state hybrid drive, not solid state hard drive).
