I have a dell dimension 5150 and the hard drives starting to go out so im looking to replace and this is where the problem comes in, in the manual for the dell dimension 5150 it says it take a sata hard drive with a data transfer rate of 1.50gbps which i believe is a sata 1 interface but i cant seem to find one there all sata 2 and up so im assuming a 1.5 is obselete or something
Anything SATA over that will work, you can even install an SSD.

You can use a SATA 2 or SATA 3 drive but you will only get STATA 1 speeds.
