Yes, SATA II (SATA 3 Gb/s) devices are backward compatible with SATA I (SATA 1.5 Gb/s) interfaces. This means that you can connect a SATA II hard drive or SSD to a SATA I motherboard, but the drive will operate at the lower SATA I speed. However, if you connect a SATA I drive to a SATA II interface, it will run at the SATA I speed as well.
Yes. But your computer needs to be properly configured for a SATA optical drive. Also, a SATA drive is better than a IDE drive.

No. IDE Hard Drive cannot be replaced with a Sata Hard Drive because the connectors are different. example. if you have sata hard drive installed on your machine. and you purchase IDE Hard drive. you won't be able to install the IDE hard drive where the Sata hard drive was because the IDE connectors are a different shape and size towards the Sata hard drive connectors.

You should check the exact type of your SATA drives, and what cables they require, on their website: SATA drives come as SATA-1 and SATA-2, and also as E-SATA [external SATA], I believe. The cables may be different, check it out on Wiki or your mfrs site. cheers!
Someone can purchase a SATA hard drive from a number of companies such as Amazon. Amazon has a large selection of SATA hard drives from a number of manufacturers.
