In general, the essence of the question is this: I want to buy a hard drive with a SATA 2 interface, but the motherboard has SATA 3. Is it possible to connect such a hard drive to the motherboard and what will be the consequences? Thanks in advance for your answers.

And sata2 to sata3 is possible, and sata3 to sata2.
It will work in both cases as sata2.

SATA2/SATA3 backward compatible, yes, you can connect, but the speed will be SATA2.
