HP DV6T; compatible with SATA II or SATA III?

Hello world

I would like to change the HARD drive in my HP DV6T Select Edition, product # XC102AV that I bought in December 2010 for one SSD, possibly the 840 Samsung EVO (2.5 ", either 250 GB or 500 GB SATA III).

I was not able to know whether my system is compatible with SATA III.

Can you please help me, will be the work of Samsung SSD using a SATA II or SATA III speed?

Thanks for all your help in advance!

I found a review for this laptop, so I don't know the specs. The first SATA III support for HP laptops are series Dv6-6000, Sandy Bridge, which is the second generation of Intel processors. It starts with Core iX-2XXX. Means that your laptop is certainly a SATA II one. I got it so I know for sure.

  • support dv6t-1200 ssd sata III

    I have a CTO dv6t 1200, and I would like to replace the hard drive with a disc SSD 830 TeamViewer.  The dv6 shows a motherboard Quanta 3627 18.42 and I would like to know if it supports SATA III my S/N is CNF9407X3H part number fv161av.  I am running Windows 7. My understanding is that SATA III will perform much better than the SATA II and because the SSD is $ 300, if I can't get the performance I would consider a laptop set to level.

    I bought and installed the 256 GB samsung 830 drive and it works fine. I still don't know if I get SATA II or SATA III speeds but is much faster, so it is what it is.

  • On Dimension 4600 SATA controller compatible with SATA 3 Gb/s disks without jumpering?

    Does anyone know if the on the Dimension 4600 SATA controller (I presume it's SATA 1.5 Gb/s) will work with the latest SATA 3 Gb/s disks without jumpering? I know that the discs themselves are backward compatible, BUT there has been some problems with the old controllers (these first generation SATA controllers include the following chipsets VT8237, VT8237R, VT6420, VT6421L, SIS760, SIS964) requiring jumpering, see:

    Bottom line, do I need a date or not? I heard that sometimes if the rider is not installed, the drive works fine for awhile and then has problems. I prefer to avoid this...

  • [Y550] New HDD SATA III. Is it compatible?

    Hello.

    I want to know if I can change my original WD hdd (I'm preety sure it's SATA I), again SATA III? I don't know if the motherboard will be compatible with SATA III. What do you think?

    And by the way, what model of motherboard is in it? Unfortunately, my serial number fail to pass on the support site, so I can't check the configuration it (and my HARD drive is broken, so I can't use the software to check it out).

    And the third question: will there be any signs of change if I Exchange my hdd SATA III. I don't know if it is important in Y550.

    Thanks for all your responses in advance.

    See you soon,.

    Peter.

    Hello
    Welcome to the forums
    In the y550 sata port is sata 2. If the disk sata hard 3 would also go to sata 2 speed. This is common for all models y550
    If you know the configuration of your computer, you can view the psref removed systems and it corresponds with the model No.
    http://www.Lenovo.com/PSREF/psrefs_withdrawn.html
    The sata 2 would be faster than the sata 1 and that means faster data transfers.

  • HP ProBook s 4740: HP ProBook 4740 s SATA III support

    Hello, I would like to upgrade my laptop with a Crucial SSD BX200 hard disk that uses the SATA III interface. Can I use HDD connected (also SATA III) as capacity of extra strorage using EVOLVEO DF127 instead of the CD player? If so, SATA III HARD disc will be compatible with SATA CD drive interface?

    Thanks for the reply

    Do not try to put a SSD in an optical interface. It will slow down and will not be bootable. You can put the SSD into the hard drive slot and put the HARD drive in the optical Bay. The HARD drive will be slowed down a bit but still good for storage. It is the way to do it. Do not worry about SATA-II vs SATA-III the SSDS works still fine.

    I would like to change the HARD drive in 450 ProBook for SSD Samsung 840 EVO (2.5 ", 250 GB SATA III), compatible with SATA II.
    And I can't find anything on the interface type in 450 PB HP.

    You are the very welcome.

    It would be the same: SATA III

    Your laptop is the Intel 7 series chipset and the G1 has the Intel® 8-series chipset.

    All laptops with an Intel 6 series chipset or newer computers have SATA III to support.

    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:

  • Contradictory information between the Dell Support & manual - SATA ii Vs SATA iii

    I scoured the search on the net with various keywords and found no solid documents on this subject.  So, I'm here to confirm if my laptop has capacity SATA 3.   According to the dell online repair (E6420 lattitude), this system comes with a Sata 2 SSD (which is what I have currently on my laptop).  I found a reference in my research where support DELL said clearly that this system is capable of SATA iii support.   See the links below for confirmation:

    Dell thread support forum - final post shows Sata iii speeds are possible.

    Moreover, I found people guess and SATA 3 SSD running on E6420.  The maintenance manual itself says nothing about the speed level (SATA 2 or 3).   Is it possible to confirm that people get SATA 3 speeds on this laptop?  I know that my new SATA 3 SSD is backward compatible with SATA 2.  My new Samsung EVO 850 SSD is capable of SATA 3, and I need to optimize it for higher speeds, if indeed I can confirm that this computer is able to reach SATA 3.

    Currently, it is the speed that I see on my new SATA 3 SSD, without even running AHCI.

    No help from this forum. So I wanted to publish my own answer, found through my upgrade and benchmarks.  Latitude E6420 is able to support SATA 3 speeds.  But you won't get the full benefit and the speed of SATA - iii if you run nothing less than Windows 7.

  • 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.

    Which SATA (I, II or III) is compatible with the dv7-6178us? Specification the SATA is backward compatible. This means that disks SSD SATA type will work in your notebook. The SSD will be made only to the level of specification SATA your SATA controller is capable of. If the controiller is SATA150 so your SSD SATA600 installed work bandwidth SATA150.

    What is the largest compatible SSD, or should I expect for the best performance? , You can install one with the largest capacity you can afford.  I would recommend not to install a larger than 512 GB. My own brand preferences are Intel, OCZ Technology, Samsung and SSD Crucial.  Purchase of the SSD in upgrade kit is the simplest solution. Upgrade kits come with a SATA to USB cable and cloning software making it a fairly simple process to upgrade the laptop. See the post-it that I wrote at the top of the section of portable equipment for some details on this. 

    What is the greatest player I can additionally ADD the SSD for storage? I recommend you not to install any disk hard legacy with a capacity greater than 1 terabyte. There is no guarantee that a superior who will work as expected.

    The following information is the maintenance guide & computer Support laptop dv7 to refers to the physical size of existing hard drives.

    6.35 cm (2.5 in) drives supports hard drives to 12.7 mm (. 50 inches), 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in)
