• IdeaPad Z570 - can he support a SATA III SSD?

  I'm looking for by replacing the slow 5400 RPM HARD drive in my laptop Z570, and I was wondering if anyone knows if it can support a SATA III SSD?

  jhollender,

  Z570 is only Sata II. So if you were to get a SSD SATA III, you only use it to speed SATA II and not to speed SATA III.

  Please look around and see if there is no reviews with users using a Z570 with SSD because there have been compatibility issues concerning different SSDS due to the type of controller used.

  Thank you.

• Port of TP T60 SATA / SATA III SSD?

  Hi, I have an old TP of IBM/Lenovo T60 1952 - CTO and I need a new hard drive. I immediately thought about buying some SSD (probably Micron RealSSD C400 128/256 GB used in the new ThinkPad). The problem is that these new SSD is equipped with SATA III interface. My question is if my T60 has a SATA II port and if I can use it (or similar) with this portable SSD.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the forum!

  Your machine will take a SATA III SSD, but it will not work at SATA I speeds. It is however, in my opinion.

• Swap HDD PSAAQE Equium A100 - 01 M - would be Crucial M4 work SATA III SSD 64 GB?

  I have a friend in a bit of a State with their incredibly slow laptop; I have a spare old M4 of Crucial 64GB SATA and a couple of hours free in the morning. I said I would try to help and my plan is to swap the drives.

  I see from the [Manual | http://www.toshiba.co.uk/innovation/tracker.jsp?file=http%3a%2f%2fsupport1.toshiba-tro.de%2ftedd-files2%2f0%2fuserman-en-20090212142351.zip] that there is a recovery partition.

  I have one of these USB to SATA led and I really was hoping if someone could let me know something that Googling it has not revealed so far that is:

  1: what SATA is this laptop? Is it 1 or 2? This player works on it?
  2: what is the best method to copy the current structure of disk and partition? Preferably leaving the data not copied partition as this will be a full recovery.

  Is that all I need to know?
  Sorry if this IS answered elsewhere, but I have 2 hours to do, I do it for free, and I just googled this morning already.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  > 1: what SATA is this laptop? Is it 1 or 2?

  As much as I know the satellite and the Satellite A100 supports SATA I controller.
  The two series are the same.

  > This disc will work on it?
  Well, since the SATA standard is backward compatible, the SSD should work but with lower performance.

  > 2: what is the best method to copy the current structure of disk and partition?
  There are different options. You can use the Toshiba Recovery disk to reinstall the system on the SSD drive. Personal data (documents, pictures, mp3, etc.) could be copied to a USB flash to move disk of the SDS.

  You can also create an image of your partitions and after installing the SSD drive, you can use the image file to recover partitions

  In some cases, manufacturers of SSDS provides tools/software specific to a product such procedure too.

• This laptop will support an ocz vertex 3 series VTX3-25SAT3 - 240 G 240 GB SSD, SATA III 6 GB/s?

  HP Pavilion DV7-4080US, Windows 7, 64-bit

  I want to replace the existing 500 GB "d" (5400 RPM) drive with an OCZ 240 GB drive SSD SATA III and must make sure that this laptop will support a SATA III SSD drive?

  I am not concerned about the start time that you want to use the SSD for video editing, so I don't anticipate using the SSD instead of the c"" drive.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  Well, this will speed up the startup time of your machine a lot but for editing video may not help much. In any case the SATA III (or 3) is backward compatible with SATA II (or 2) and SATA I (or 1). You're probably on the price/cost. A little program called PC Wizard will tell you the speed of the disk on your computer controller:

• Tecra R840 - 16J SATA III is capable of?

  Hello

  Just to ask questions about SATA compatibility! My R840-16J SATA III is capable of?

  Thank you
  Paulo

  Hello

  SATA-III was introduced in Sandy Bridge chipset (Intel with the 2nd generation 6 series I have Core CPU).
  The laptop seems to be equipped with the Mobile Chipset Intel QM67.
  These chipset supports SATA 6 Gbit/s for 2 Ports and 3 Gbps to 4 Ports.

  But the SATA controller is also compatible to the bottom so that you could use disk SATA III SSD or HDD in SATA II controller too.

• Satellite L850-117 - support SATA III

  I have a plan to change my old hard drive with the new SATA III SSD.

  I searched Toshiba homepage on spec if it supports SATA III, but it is very difficult to find this kind of information. If I understand correctly, we must support SATA III for the full implementation of the DSS.

  The laptop is Toshiba Satellite l850-117, Sandy Bridge (32nm Technology), by Googling it I found a few answers that if I have a Sandy Bridge, I also have SATA III support.

  From the BIOS I can only change 'best performance' or 'better life' for HDD/SDD, nothing on the SATA versions.

  It's the best spec I found so far

  I have USB 3.0 support, I guess that's a good sign, but I want to make sure I get full performance out of it, if spending a lot of money on large SSD.

  Can someone give me an advice?

  + The message was edited: broken link has been removed.

  Hello

  Why you n t install some diagnostic tools material like Everest Home Edition or another tool like SENECA Sisoft.
  The two would be able to provide all the details and all information about the properties of material and pieces of equipment.

  The L850 series is equipped with different material parts, but usually the ODD controller and the HARD drive is connected to the chipset (Port of Cougar / Panther point) and the chipset is connected to the processor (Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge)

  However, in my view and from my own experience, the SATA ODD interface would support 150Mbyte/s max. I don't know about the HARD m drive but I guess it could be 300Mbyte/s (SATA II)

  But please share the results provided by one of the tools mentioned.

• Lenovo z570 SATA III?

  Hello
  Can someone please tell me, if I can get a SSD SATA III (6 gb/s) on a Lenovo z570?
  This laptop has an Intel HM65 chipset, which should work with a SATA III SSD.
  With HWinfo and Intel Rapid Storage, I realized the SATA 3 is supported.

  Thank you!

  
  

• Y500 SATA II or SATA III?

  Hello

  Recently I bought Lenovo Y500 and I plan on improving the msata or regular ports of 2.5 "sata to a larger SSD. I was looking around and I can't seem to get a definitive answer on whether or not these two ports are SATA II (3Gbps) or SATA III (6 GB/s).

  Has anyone tried asking an SATA III SSD and got speeds on 300Mbps?

  Or

  Does anyone know how to say that the system is compatible with? I tried to run some programs like hwinfo indicating SATA II 3Gbps, but I can't tell if it's because it tells me how fast is the current HARD drive.

  
  

• L420 SATA III 600 MB/s

  Hello guys-Lenovo

  I plan to install an SSD in my Lenovo laptop, L420. But I don't know if the SATA port will support SATA 3 (600 MB/s), if it only supports SATA 2, I think think I would consider buying a new laptop.

  Another quistion: is it possible to get a Bay to the Bay of DVD, so that it would be possible to install a HDD here rather than the DVD, I never use the DVD, and if I can get a fast SSD for start-up etc and a big 1 TB in the Bay, it would be wonderful DVD.

  Thank you for your time.

  Markus

  Hello! HARD drive Bay supports SATA III speeds, so all SATA III SSD will be fully used.

  Regarding the DVD slot, it also supports SATA III speeds, and you can use a shopping cart to replace the DVD, but no matter what HARD drive you will place there will not be bootable. No problem, but for any other use (storage, etc.). A caddy with SATA connectors and height of 12.7 mm SATA is compatible.

  One problem aesthetic is the bezel of the caddy that is flat, but you could replace that with the DVD bezel and your L420 will maintain its looks from the side.

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE-540me: adding an SSD (SATA III) for HP Elite desktop computer. Is this possible?

  Dear Experts...

  I want to upgrade my computer by adding an SSD as a master drive and move the original 2 TB drive to be a slave.

  I found several coices of SSDS, but almost all of them are SATA III interface.

  Is my office supports this interface? as it is just written that it has a SATA interface without specifying what version of SATA!

  How many hard drives could this office holds? I already have two (the original 2 TB and my old drive 256 GB) and I wand to add a SSD for Windows and the progs.

  Can I purchase this SSD for example? Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-series 500 GB 2.5 inch SATA III single-unit Version internal Solid State...

  It is the official my desktop HP specifications page .

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello

  It has 2 bays free HARD disk as on its specifications:

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02781215

  You can trade SSDS on your machine and make the old HDD as a secondary drive ("slave"). SATA III is backwards compatible so you can use it. Since then have been smaller SSD (normally 2.5 "), something that is similar to one of the following media:

• HP Pavilion dv7 - 4083cl: support SSD SATA III?

  Hello

  I think about adding a 2nd. hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv7 - 4083cl.

  The current drive of 500 GB at 7200 RPM will be the 2nd. drive and a new SSD will be 1. drive (System and boot).

  I was looking for this information, but I couldn't find the answer. My doubts are:

  1. the dv7 - 4083 cl does support SATA III? If I install a SATA III disc, will it work to its full potential, or as a SATA II drive? In other words, can I buy a SSD SATA II drive cheaper because I wouldn't have the performance of a most recent hard drive SSD SATA III?

  2. a 256 GB SSD support this machine? Or is it just up to 160 GB?

  Thank you!

  Hello:

  You know the chipset specifications to determine what version of your laptop SATA drive will manage transfer speeds to.

  Your laptop computer has a chipset Mobile Intel series 5 (HM55) who can run that hard disks to the SATA II transfer speed.

  Not until you get to new Intel 6 Series chipsets and can they run SATA III drives to SATA III speed.

  Here is the link to the plug on the chipset of your notebook.  Note the SATA 3.0 GB/S specifications.

  http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/mainstream-chipsets/mobile-chipset-HM55.html

  Since your laptop comes standard with a 500 GB HARD drive, I imagine a 250 GB SSD should work fine.

  However, the recovery disks may not work on a smaller hard drive.

• HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea - SSD SATA III HARD disk? & HARD drive space gone?

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea. It works fairly well, but I think I have an SSD would really speed up the loading of programs and start etc. I'm not so sure that the upgrade. I read on a thread if I had Port SATA 1 6 Gbps Supported or SATA Port 0 6 Gbps then my cell phone was good for SATA III. Is this the case? Joined a program hwinfo32 image, can you check if my phone would support SATA III?

  

  The other issue is my HD. My laptop says I have 750GB HD coming to about 700 GB after formatting. But my laptop seems to have only a total of 350 GB with all sectors added together. Where is the space?

  

  Hello

  Yes, your laptop has 2 ports SATA 6 GB/s (SATA III) most likely the hard drive and an optical drive are connected on it. There are also 2 SATA 3Gbps ports but not in use, I guess.

  The other issue is that there are 4 partitions but the partition 0 is strange and shouldn't be there. There should be a small boot for Windows partition (for BitLocker etc.), drive C: with Windows, D: drive with a partition recovery and partition Tools HP QuickWeb and some diagnostic utilities. It seems that the recovery partition is missing, the C: drive has been decreased and then created a small partition at the beginning of the hard disk. Take a look at disk management in administrative tools in the control panel this partitioning is on the hard drive.

• Satellite R830 - support Sata III for SSD drives

  Hello

  Why Toshiba Satellite R830 does not support Sata III, although the plug to motherboard. indicate that it is possible?

  So you can not significantly increase the performance of your laptop by replacing the HARD drive with disk SSD Sata III. Is it possible to activate the Sata III (6 Mbps) on R830?

  All the system settings? It's also kind of bios update request necessary support SSD and SATA III...

  Any help is appreciated! :)

  > It shows that SATA III is supported, but when you install the SSD SATA III disc it does not work with higher speeds to ~ 250 MB/s (cases Crucial M4).

  From my own experience many SSD readers need a updated firmware that is provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives.

  But readers in the R830 SSD seems to support these specifications:
  Host interface: Max 300 MB/s
  Reading data supported: Max 250 MB/s
  Writing data supported: Max 160 MB/s

  By the way: the R830 supports a Mobile Intel HM65 Express Chipset and the chipset supports the storage interface high speed supports up to 6 Gb/s transfer rate for improved data access. Provides up to 6 SATA ports, 3 Gb/s with up to 2 ports support 6 Gb/s transfer rate.
