You’ll need to get another drive which is either a ‘Fixed’ SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) or one that has the technology to adjust its I/O speed to the systems SATA Port’s ability. We call these drives ‘Auto Sense’ As an example [https://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/firecuda-family/firecuda/files/firecuda-ds-1903-1-1606us.pdf|3.5” Seagate FireCuda] which is an Auto Sense drive. Note the ‘SATA Transfer Rates Supported (Gb/s)’ line which lists all three data rates ‘6.0/3.0/1.5’
Many HD makers are slowly reducing if not stopping making either Fixed or Auto Sense drives that work in SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) systems. The demand for them has dropped, just like how we now can’t locate the even older SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) or even the still older PATA drives. The world has moved on.
