If you have a 3 Gb/s BUS can a person purchase a new hard drive say a 2TB Western Digital that can run up to 6Gb/s and have their system run at that speed or will it still run at 3Gb/s? Trying to figure all this out :)
Is this a good question?

It depends on the given drives specs if it can work in the slower SATA system.
Some drives auto set to the systems SATA speed others not. Some have a jumper which allow it to run at a lower SATA speed.
You need to review the specs of the drive and you likely need to upgrade the systems firmware as well.
