[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.

The sata 2 would be faster than the sata 1 and that means faster data transfers.

  • 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...

    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:

  • Cloned new HDD for Pavilion 1210.uk does not start

    I am new to the forum so Hi everyone.

    I just installed a new HDD (SATA) to my office. BIOS identiified unit correctly and I cloned using HDClone software. He succeeded with 0 read and write errors. All files are accessed through drive letter access. So far so good, I thought. I then tried to boot from the disc again by changing the BIOS boot order. Hoewver, when the trunk begins with the new PC HARD drive crashes with a white/black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. It is the logo of Microsoft and o/s linen starts (XP).

    Some additional information:

    * Old HARD drive still boots without problem with or without the new drive.

    * I changed the transfer rate of 3.0 GB to 1.5 GB being the SATA 2 drive. That made no difference, then changed back.

    I don't know what is wrong, someone has also experienced this or knows what is the problem?

    Thanks for reading.

    The cloned system was not built with PATA and SATA drivers.  This could be the problem. You still get the blinking cursor?  You can send an email to technical support HDClone and ask of PATA, SATA problem of cloning.

    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.

  • 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).

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

    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.

  • -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 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.

  • 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.

    raks12345,

    By design, all the newest SATA standards are retro-compatible with older SATA standards and will return at low speed as they go to work. So no matter whether a controller SATA 1 with a SATA 3 drive or a SATA 3 controller with a SATA 1 drive, or any combination with SATA 2 so, they should all work together very well.

    The only exception in my experience, it's that some old SATA drives require a 3.3 volt, while most of the readers work fine without it. It is a power supply problem not a problem of SATA version.

    For me, to help troubleshoot, please click on my DELL-Jesse L and send me a private Message with the number of Service Dell and your Dell order number.
