“I have an 8 year old Dell desktop with a SATA 1TB drive that is having issues. How can I tell if this one will work? Is SATA III the same as SATA and if not, how do I know if I can use this one? I've looked at every configuration I can find!”

SATA 3 will work fine. You’ll be bottlenecked on read/write speeds by your lowest rated component(sata cable or motherboard capabilities). Without knowing the complete setup it would be hard to tell but it should be an upgrade in speeds over the older drive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
