This hard drive will work sata II desktop? null

Yes. It's actually comparable up to SATA III, so anything below that, it is also compatable with.

Yes, Since you specifically mention desktop, I'd assume you are looking for a 3.5-inch Serial ATA drive and this will fit the task. SATA or Serial ATA mainly defines the data cable and the internal method of passing data from drive-to-motherboard and its reverse. SATA 2 and SATA 3 use the same connectors (only SATA 3 specification also includes the new 7mm connection used in solid-state drives and doubles data throughput using burst transmissions). The SATA 3 specification also requires backward compatibility with SATA 2.

I installed mine in my 2005 Dell Desktop running Windows 7... I'm pretty sure my application is SATA II ... it's working just fine for me.

I believe that they are all backwards compatible and will function at the SATA-II I/O speed.

YEs, This interface is backwards compatible with SATA 3 Gb/s interface. ... SATA III specifications provide backward compatibility to function on SATA I and SATA II ports. However, the maximum speed of the drive will be slower due to the lower speed limitations of the port.
