Questions about this item

Will the 6 Gb/s SATA interface on this 500 GB drive work with my older motherboard that only supports 3 Gb/s SATA?

Yes, the SATA 6 Gb/s interface is backward compatible and will operate at 3 Gb/s on older motherboards.

How can I verify the 7200 RPM spindle speed and 64 MB cache are active after installation?

Check the drive model in your BIOS or use a tool like CrystalDiskInfo; both will report 7200 RPM and 64 MB cache for the Constellation ES.
