-What is my w500 compatible Sata III 6 gb/s?

I want to upgrade my hard drive to an SSD for my main drive on my w500. I have a dual processor 2.8 ghz with 8 GB of ram, a second massive hard drive, and think to upgrade my main drive for the OCZ sata III capable of 550/500 read write speeds would be amazing, if its 6 gb/s.

Or am I limited to only sata II? Which would be much cheaper?

You are limited to SATA II.

    Hello

    I didn't disagree with that because SATA III is backward compatible. Yes, you can not get the SATA III speed, but you can see a huge improvement especially start & stop time, copy files, photoshop... compared to a normal 7200 tr / MIN HARD drive.

  • G3 G3 250 HP (J4T62EA): 250 HP (J4T62EA) - compatible SATA III upgrade, SSD

    Hello world

    I bought G3 250 HP laptop (jJ4T62EA). I have a question about the SATA 3.0 interface. I want to change my Samsung 850 EVO SSD 250 GB HARD disk drive. My laptop does support SATA 3.0 to 6.0 Gbps? Thanks for your help.

    Hello again!

    I got SSD already, so I checked that my laptop supports SATA III. Magician of Samsung, which is a dedicated software for the Samsung SSD drives shows that everthing is working at full speed on SATA III (6 Gbps). In conclusion, if you have a G3 250 HP (J4T62EA), you can improve it without loss of performance associated with the SATA interface. If you want I can put here results of benchmarks on next week.

  • What type of SSD (2.5 "SATA III or mSATA) is compatible with my Studio XPS 1640?

    Greetings.

    I'm looking to update / replace the original hard drive in my Studio XPS 1640.  I decided on a SSD Samsung 1 TB 850 Evo, but - without opening to the top of my laptop an extra time - I don't know which format is compatible: the 2.5 "SATA III or the mSATA?  I will very happy if someone can tell me which of these SSDS work with my laptop.

    You need a reader 2.5 "SATA - there is no support for type mSATA or readers PCIe card in this system.

    The SATA controller is 3G, so you will not see the full implementation of a SATA 6 G - you'll get only half of that can support the disk - but a SATA SSD will work with the system.

    The system is designed for a 9.5 mm hard drive - you'll need a spacer to mount a 7 mm SSD (some readers from Samsung and Crucial include;  If yours is not that they are just a few dollars).

  • [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.

    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.

    Your laptop supports SATA III Solid State Drives. I suggest Samsung Pro or Evo products. Here's the top of the line and even for a decent price.

  • Dv6-6135dx SATA III is compatible?

    I've improved my dv6-6135dx to an OCZ Agility SSD 3, but get only speed SATA II. I know that the chipset supports SATA III, but HP does he choose not not to support? Will there be an update of the BIOS to turn on?

    After investigation, this problem is solved. I downloaded ATTO, run and get the nominal maximum SATA III speeds as announced by OCZ...

  • 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.

    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.

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

    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:

  • Dv6 - 6153cl supports hard drives SATA III?

    I have a problem with my laptop and I think I've narrowed the problem down to the HARD drive. I want to replace and update, but I don't know what drives can I use.

    I would like to know if I can install a SATA III HARD disk in my computer laptop dv6 - 6153cl. From what I can tell, it currently has an installed SATA II HDD. Can I switch from SATA III or am I stuck with SATA II?

    Download the SATA-III. Even if the motherboard supports only SATA-II (not true in your case), you can use the SATA-III drives. SATA is fully backward compatible. But, yet again, your motherboard HM65 chipset that supports support SATA-III. A good rule of thumb is that if it has USB 3.0 is also SATA-III. Not 100% true but terribly close to true.
