Does DV6-6136tx support SATA III?

I just bought this DV6-6136tx a week ago and I'm wondering if i can use SATA III SSD on it.
The chipset is HM65 which should be able to support SATA III.
I want to confirm this before I upgrade my harddrive to SSD.

Thank Kamat & Pepe.
I heard that there is a difference between the cable for SATA II and SATA III.
Do you know the connector within this laptop is installed for SATA III or only for SATAII as Kamat said?
And by the way, are you guys from HP?
The SATA III connectors may have more pins than SATA II but because SATA III is compatible with SATA II the connectors look like the same. I believe that SATA III connectors in Sandy Bridge laptops are installed for a hard drive and for an optical drive. I mean 2 different cables from 2 SATA III ports on the motherboard..
Yes, Kamat works for HP, but I don't..

Does dv6-6153cl support SATA III HDDs?

I'm having trouble with my laptop and I think I've narrowed the problem down to the HDD. I want to replace it, and upgrade it, but I'm not sure what HDDs I can use.
I'd like to know if I can install a SATA III HDD into my dv6-6153cl laptop. From what I can tell it currently has a SATA II HDD installed. Can I upgrade to SATA III or am I stuck with SATA II?
This question was solved.

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

Does the Mac Pro Support SATA III?

Hi everyone, I've been wondering for a long time: Does the late 2012 12-Core Mac Pro support SATA III 6Gb connection? If not, is there any way of making it SATA III?

Most commercially-available rotating drives cannot possibly source data off the platters at higher than a momentary bursts of up to 125MBytes/sec, or about 1.0Gbits/sec. That means SATA-I speed is not a bottleneck.
A few drives are faster, and some SSD drives are faster.
Many drives available today are capable of transfers at up to 6Gbits/sec.They will operate correctly at the Mac Pro's 3Gbits sec Bus speed. But since they cannot produce data from the drive platters at those speeds, you get at most a tiny, momentary burst at that speed.
6Gbits/sec is far higher than other bottlenecks in the drive. There is no point in paying extra for this spec, as the drive cannot achieve it steady-state, and it provides no measurable advantage. I refer to such practices as "specsmanship". Feel free to read "cr@p".

ProBook 6465b - does it support SATA III?

Hi,
I have ProBook with A6-3410MX on AMD A60M FCH, which should has only 6Gbps SATA. But my friend has the same ProBook with A4 on the same chipset, and he's bought Crucial m4 SSD and benchmarks results show that it is only SATA II (3Gbps). Can anybody confirm that 6465b support or not 6Gbps SATA?

Hi pepe,
that's the point - it should support but results from AS SSD on my friend's 6465b shows that it not support SATA III. And I try to discover why. Is it hardware (HP do not include SATA III) or some software problems. Unfortunatelly, i don't have any SATA III SSD or HDD to check my notebook.

Have a look at the write speed. My SATA II Corsair has the same write speed like the SATA III M4 256GB and 512GB. Reading is just 415MB/s (my has approx 275MB/s) for all of them. I would expect a better read/write performance from a SATA III SSD..

Does Satellite Pro C850-1EQ support Sata III?

I've just picked up a new Satellite Pro C850-1EQ laptop, and am looking to replace the slow 5400rpm drive with an SSD.
I can't find the SATA specifications of this machine anywhere - does it support Sata III (6Gb/sec)?
Thanks,
Gareth

Hi
As far as I know it supports the SATA II (3Gb/s)
But you could install some software diagnostic tools like *SiSoft SANDRA*
This would provide all details about the hardware configuration.
Could you confirm that its SATA II?

Please see the "HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide" for the technical specification of your computer. It appears that the computer supports SATA, but no exact information is given. The is most likely SATA version based on an AMD A60M chipset would be SATA3.

Macbook Pro 2011 do not support SATA III?

Macbook Pro 2011 do not support SATA III?

Yes, they do, sort of! It's funny because I was about to complain about my THIRD 2011 MacBook Pro and while SATA III works fine in the main hard drive bay, it will not let me put a second SSD into the optical drive bay for a RAID 0 solution. This affects all 15" and 17" MBP's, but strangely enough, it works just fine on the 2011 13" MBP's. GRRR! This is so infuriating.

G580 20150 Supports SATA III ?

Hello, I have got Lenovo G580-20150 (Intel core i7 Ivy Bridge, nvidia geforce GT635M, HDD 1TB,..)
I need to know if my laptop supports SATA III. I searched everywhere but I have not found the answer. I'll upgrade my HDD to SSD.
Moderator Note; subject edited; post merged in. pictures removed because of formatting issue

port itself is no diffirence so using a SATA 3 will work fine in a SATA port as long connector is same which it is most of times

Does my laptop support Sata 3?

Hi I own a HP ENVY 15-J181na, I am thinking of buying an SSD dive to replace the one that came with the laptop. I would like to know if this laptop supports Sata 3 so that I will be able to take full advantage of the speed of the SSD?
Thanks

Hi: Unless someone with the same model number as yours has installed a SATA III drive, and can report that it runs at the SATA III speed, no one will be able to give you a definite answer. I can tell you that the chipset your notebook has definitely supports SATA III, but there are a few models that also supported sata III, but only ran at the SATA II speed because HP decided to hook the sata drives to the sata II drive controller instead of the SATA III controller. Most likely it will run at the SATA III speed, but there is a remote chance it won't.

Does MBP 2011 use SATA III(HDD)

Does it? So can i use SATA III SSD later? Thanks

Impossible to answer right now until Apple publishes the specifications. I'd recommend you keep checking the Specifications Page, I'm not sure when it will be up though. The reason I'm thinking that is looking at current machines it only says Serial ATA. Another avenue is going to an Apple Store to ask or contacting the online Apple Store. The online store's phone number is listed in the upper left of the store's web page.

Does my mac support SATA 300?

Hello,
     I have an early 2007 macbook pro, 17", 2.33Ghz and it comes with a Hitachi HTS721010G9SA00 HDD which is SATA 150. I want to buy a new hdd but the new ones are SATA 300 already. Does my macbook pro support SATA 300? I guess it should, but I just want to be sure.
     Thanks a lot,
     Jorge

Thanks for the reply guys. What about SSD drives? Is my MBP compatible with SSD drives? Would you advise any? I know nothing about SSD drives.
SSDs will be throttled back in the same way as a SATA II HD, but will be quicker by their nature (flash memory). There are probably more "quirky" issues with SSDs than SATA II HDs in SATA I Macs, so if you're looking for issue free computing, I don't know that I'd recommend one to you. Plus the price is outrageous, they are not secure, at this time there are TRIM issues with various SSDs, and the list goes on. They're not far out of their infancy, IMO.

Does the d7900 handle Sata III HDD's over a TB

Does the d7900 handle Sata II or III HDD's over a TB? I prefer to use a 2TB Sata III

To me it sounds like the HDD is good, but the boot files on it are corrupted. The WD Extended Test does a surface scan. The WD Blue drives that Lenovo used are as reliable as any HDD made.

Use Rescue and Recovery to restore the system, you'll then need to update Windows and any apps & user data since that backup was made. Or reload the OS from scratch, format the drive partition when you do (don't delete the partitions.) When you have the OS back, but before you do anything else, as a double-check, run Chkdsk surface scan per the above link, watch to see if any sectors were bad and "spared". If none, then the data was corrupt, no HDD problem. Could it have been a virus that corrputed your boot files? What Security program are you using?

Does the 8760w support SATA 6 Gbps?

It seems the chipset supports SATA 6 Gbps but HP seems to indiciate that only SATA 3 Gbps drives are supported.
Which is it?

Any chipset feature can be blocked in the bios by the manufacturer of the notebook, not sure if HP blocked sata 6.0 in the bios or not.
