Hi, I want to buy this optical drive:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6827106333

My current motherboard only has sata1 ports but the pc that I will order a little later will have sata2 ports, will this drive work with my sata1 motherboard? or is it only compatible with sata2, also, what cable do I need to use sata1 or 2? Thanks.

IIRC, SATA 2 drives will work on SATA 1 mobos, but you won't be able to get maximum speeds from the drive.
