Is SATA II Backwards-compatible?

Once again, sorry if this topic has been discussed previously 🙂

The board I'm looking at (MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLi) supports SATA II Hard Drives. I really don't want an SATA II drive, because of availibility and the fact that Seagate does not make any. I'm also looking at the Seagate Barracuda series, specifically the 250GB SATA-150 drive.

My question is...will that drive work with a motherboard that only supports SATA II? And if it won't, is there some kind of convertor I can get?
 
there is no such thing as ONLY SATA II, just as 99% of things in the computer world, it is backwards compatable. I have the Platinum Ultra, and love it and am using a SATA 150
