they are compatible its just your motherboard wont allow you to get full benefit of your 3.0 's,,, if you want to, look up a HD controller card.. Maybe around $79 for a 3.0, or SATA-2 ,300mb

They are compatible. However, some 3.0 SATA drives must have a jumper set to run at the 1.5 spec. If you have problems with your BIOS detecting your SATA drive, this may be the problem.
