Here is what the report looks like on my MacBook Pro.

Best Answer
Yes it will works. It is not a differance, because it is backward compatible. You can find out here more if you are interested about compatibility SATA II vs. SATA III
But one thing you must take in care, that you won't reach speeds of data 3, because your bus only support sata2
