SATA II drives should work fine on any SATA controller. They are meant
to be compatible just like IDE always was (except when IDE ran out of
bits in the LBA addressing, then new large drives required a controller
that could speak the new LBA protocol, but older disks worked on newer
controllers, and new drives worked on old controllers although maybe
limited in size).
