    I have a couple of SATA I drives in my PC; I´m planning to upgrade the MoBo and probably will buy a model that supports SATA II; will I be able to use my current drives?(I´d buy SATA II HDDs later), can SATA I and SATA II coexist in the same system if I decide to keep the older ones once I buy the new ones?(the MoBo supporting SATA II of course)

    Yes, SATA 1 or 2 are compatible with each other's controllers. 1 and 2 can be mixed as each channel operates independently. I'm not sure what SATA RAID would do with mixed drives, probably default to the SATA 1 speeds.
