Yes a SATA II hard drive will still work on it, although you may need to change the jumpers on the drive: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc....php?p_faqid=1343&p_created=1112716146#jumper

It will be limited to SATA I speed, which isn't a problem as there aren't any drives that run that fast anyway.
