I'm CONSIDERING purchasing a new hard drive to go from 500GB up to, maybe 1.5TB or 2TB, I'm not sure. My current Hard Drive is a Seagate SATA-II. Thinking a little bit forward, I was considering getting a SATA-III hard drive. I realize that it wouldn't perform anywhere near it's potential due to my motherboard, but I was wondering if in the meantime the two might be compatible. I don't really know if there's a difference in the way the ports look, either.
