Quick question about HD SATA 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s

[lyonnx]

I recently bought a HD with SATA 6.0Gb/s and plan to buy a ASRock 880GM-LE FX AM3+ AMD 880G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Is it compatible?

Yes. It will work fine.

Second that. SATA III is backward compatible with SATA II in either direction (faster board or faster disk)- it will just run at SATA II speeds.
