My system will support a SATA III disc?

Hello, I got a desktop Pavilion HPE, delivered with a SATA 1 TB Seagate drive. I want to install another internal drive, a SATA III 3 tb, but do not know if the motherboard will support it. No other information HP Support Assistant says what types of drives are supported.

Thank you!

Hello

According to two different documents from HP, your PC has only SATA II ports.  However, a SATA III hard drive will still work.  In addition, the chipset Intel H61 in your PC doesn't support SATA II.

  • 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.

    Try to burn a CD. The system will not recognize the blank disc or let me burn... says there is no disc inserted

    Hello

    Have you tried to close all programs and then insert the disc? Restart the 1st and then try it.

    If no joy:

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.

  • 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.

    I recently ordered this ssd sata m2 of amazon, but I'm not sure its compatible with my system - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TGIW1XG?psc=1 & redirect = true & ref_ = oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00.

    Its a Samsung 850 500 GB M.2 3.5 inch SSD Form Factor 80nm.  Can I use in a configuration to double for my laptop with the current 5400 RPM 1 TB HARD drive already in the system?  Or do I have to use one or the other?  Or can I select a smaller SSD storage for a double configuration?  I have to talk to a technician and he said my system does not support a 128 GB ssd and it did not indicate if it is a double or a single disk configuration.  In my view, it is difficult to imaging a new desire to 2015 with an i7 Quad Core skylake 6700HQ processor supports only a meagre 128 GB SSD.  Any ideas on what my system can support?

    I can verify that it works very well. I had HP technology insist that I could use only one hard disk and a maximum capacity of 128 GB. The technicians don't know squat. I use now a configuration double with the operating system and my programs on my 850 m2 sata evo III 500 GB SSD and my data (videos, music and photos) files on the preinstalled 5400 RPM 1 TB HARD drive.

  • What operating systems will support 32 GB or even 64 GB of RAM

    I am looking to upgrade my computer and going through the parts I noticed that my base and my motherboard has space for up to 64 GB of RAM, I know there are many answers to this but a lot of them I don't understand. I would like if possible a list of operating systems that support up to 64 GB of RAM.

    Yes, I see that it does not support 64 GB.

    I know its bad unlikely hoghly never need 64 gb but I want the best and want to be equipped for any situation, it's in the game, but it's also for game design.

    Your choice of course, but even if at some point in the future, 64GB
    will be necessary, it is also likely that at that time, almost everything
    otherwise the computer will be obsolete and current versions of Windows
    you won't, either.

    If it were me, I wouldn't buy more 16GB now (even it's a lot, and)
    It is highly unlikely that you will need that much). You can always add
    later if you think you need.

  • Dose w520 msata support 6Gbps SATA III?

    Hi everyone, recently I'm ready to install an mSATA SSD on my w520, but I don't know if the mini PCI-E of this machine the SATA-III 6Gbps support, or it may only run a SATA III mSATA SSD SATA II mode. If anyone has tested this before? Thank you.

    I don't have the reference at hand, but I'm sure I've read on several forums that the mSATA on the W520 supports sata 2 only, not 3.

  • W530 msata does support 6Gbps SATA III?

    Hi everyone, I know W520 mSATA supports 3 Gbps connection. but by launching a new SSD mSATAIII I hope W530 with Ivy Bridge and QM77 chipset suports 6 Gbps connection.

    Thanks for any idea or references abaut that?

    mSATA does not PCI-Express use despite being in the mini-PCI-Express form factor.

    When plugged into a port compatible mSATA causes the port to change his basic SATA signalling mode instead of PCI-Express; That's why mSATA cards work only in specific locations on laptops instead of in any mini-PCI-Express slots.

    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:

    You can download it from the following link:

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

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.
