Someone correct me if I wrong but I always thought sata2 just stood for the secound sata spot on your motherboard.(I think this because I see motherboard lable the spots in the instructions manual sata1 and sata2). I think any sata harddrive will work with it.

It does and it doesn't. SATA2 here is referring to the SATA2 (3Gb/s) standard as opposed to the SATA (1.5Gb/s) standard.

No harddrive can run at SATA2 speeds or SATA speeds for that matter. Any SATA drive will work on your SATA2 ports

SATA & SATA II are two difference things. SATA HDD can't work on the SATA II port. Hitachi had released the SATA II HDD

The SATAII controller and cables are backwards compatible with first generation of Serial ATA drives although you'll only be running at SATA I standard speeds, of course.

The 3.0 Gbps 2nd generation SATA II interface provides a backwards-compatible speed upgrade to the widely deployed 1.5 Gbps Serial ATA standard.

SATA II - 3.0 Gb/s interface
Backwards compatible with SATA 1.5 Gb/s

SATA2 Specification said:
The Gen2i Electrical Specification aims at the desktop and mobile market for Serial ATA drives. The
primary consideration in this application is to maintain complete backwards compatibility with existing
Serial ATA 1.0a devices. Secondly, the one meter cable and connectors defined in Serial ATA 1.0a
shall operate correctly with both Gen1i and Gen2i devices.
Gen2i is defined with the following goals and requirements:
• Maintains full compatibility with Serial ATA 1.0a
• Defines characteristics of 3.0 Gb/s link.
• Targets only internal cabled configurations using the previously specified 1m cable. No direct
connectivity to backplanes or external interfaces.
• Supports lower cost device architectures

Serial ATA II is the second generation of the serial interface and is to be considered as extension. The focus of Serial ATA II is on more functions for professional applications and compatibility to the Serial ATA 1.0 standard

so no har drives can run at sata or sata 2 speeds ive heard this before somewere is this true ans sata 2 is coming out in a year or so
 
SATA2 is out now, it's on nForce4 boards
SATA HDD can't work on the SATA II port

Who told you this? I know this statement has already been destroyed by post 9 but seriously, that'd be like saying ata33 drives can't run on an ata133 port :P
