SATA III is backwards compatible with SATA and SATA 2 and is physically
compatible with older cables and plugs. You won't get as good
performance out of it as is possible with a SATA 3 controller of course
- bandwidth of SATA1 is 150 MByte/s, 2 is 300 MByte/s and 3 is 600
MByte/s. From what I've been able to find out, your controller supports
SATA2 so you'll see transfers at up to 300 MByte/s.
In general, it will work fine with the controller.

Hi Folks,
I am planning to add a 128GB SSD to my desktop PC which has a
SB700/SB800 SATA controller [AHCI mode]. Then I'll install ubuntu
12.04 on the SSD. The folks at ubuntu said that "any SSD will be
fine". But I note that SSDs for sale at Memory Express are designated
as "SATA III" so I'm concerned that there may be a mismatch between an
SSD which is SATA III and my controller. I would appreciate any advice.
