GX740-079US SATA III support?

It is hard to find a definitive answer, but my gut feeling says the GX740 support SATA II and not III though certain sites are offering SSD options with the SATA III drives. Does anyone know for if the GX740-079US support SATA III as I am looking to upgrade to SSD. TIA!

Oh, sorry. I had mistakenly throught that SATA II was 300 Mbit/s. Thanks
Wrong!!!
SATA-2 (II) is 3GBIT/s ~ 300MBYTE/s
Please do not mix values, as they make a big difference.

  • SATA III support?

    Do any of the AMD AM3-supporting motherboards offer SATA III support? This is what some places refer to as SATA 3 Gbit/s, right? The 790FX-GD70 specs only mention SATA II. Can this sort of thing be modified by flash upgrade or not?

  • Satellite L850-117 - SATA III support

    I have a plan to change my old hard-drive with new SATA III SSD.
    I have searched from Toshiba homepage about spec if it supports SATA III but it's very difficult to find that kind of information. If I understand correctly, it needs to support SATA III to get full performance of SSD.
    The laptop is Toshiba Satellite l850-117, it has Sandy Bridge (32nm Technology), by googling it I have found some answers that if I have Sandy Bridge I also have SATA III support.
    From BIOS I can only change "best performance" or "best lifetime" for HDD/SDD, nothing about SATA versions.
    This is the best spec I have found so far
    I have USB 3.0 support, I guess it's a good sign but I want to make sure I get full performance out of it if spend a lot of money on big SSD.
    Can anyone give me an advice?

    Hi
    Why you dont install some hardware diagnostic tools like Everest Home Edit or another tool like SANDR Sisoft.
    Both would be able to provide you all details and info about the hardware parts and hardware properties.
    The L850 series is equipped with different hardware parts but usually the ODD and HDD controller is connected to the chipset (Cougar Port / Panther point) and the chipset is connected to CPU (Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge)
    However, I think and from my own experience the ODD SATA interface would support max 150Mbyte/s. Im not sure about the HDD but I assume it could be 300Mbyte/s (SATA II)
    But please share the results provided by one of the mentioned tools.

  • HP Pro Book 4540s SATA III Support

    Does 4540s support SATA 3 ?
    optional i mean
    and is there any models in HP that support SATA 3 ?

    Hi:
    The chipset in the 4540s supports SATA III transfer speeds.
    I would hope that the HP engineers designed the notebook to connect the hard drive to a SATA III port!
    I doubt that HP installed a SATA III drive in the model though.
    While it is a nice notebook, it is a low end business model.

  • Dv6t-1200 ssd sata III support

    I have a dv6t-1200 CTO and would like to replace the hard drive with a Smasung 830 SSD drive.  The dv6 shows a motherboard Quanta 3627 18.42 and I'd like to know if this 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 SATA II and since the SSD is $300, if I can't get top performance I would consider an upgraded laptop.
    This question was solved.

    I bought and installed the samsung 830 256GB drive and it is working great. I still don't know if I'm getting SATA II or SATA III speeds but it is much faster so it is what it is.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 SATA III support

    I would like to know if the new Macbook Pro 2011 supports SATA III SSD's. I know the thunderbolt needs the Sandy Bridge to work, however I am not sure if that means that the chip will definitely support a SATA III SSD. Does anyone know ????

    Eww,
    Thank you very much or your response. I have a clarifying question. I am looking at buy a OCZ VERTEX 3 SATA III 2.5" SSD and I just want to be sure that if I spend the money on it I am going to get 100% functionality to include the 6/Gbps, minus of course the TRIM feature because from what I understand Apple locked it out. Do you know if this drive will work on the 2011 MacBook Pro.

  • How to limit SATA III to SATA II speed on MBP 2011

    I've bought an 240 GB SSD with SATA III interface. The SATA controller detects the device correctly and sets up a 6Gbit/s connection.
    With this set up my system - and according to many public postings many other systems, too - experience temporary failures of the connection, i.e. the system repeatedly stops sending data over the sata connection. Some information hint that the SATA cable doesn't support 6Gbit/s because it's not shielded well.
    I would like to solve this issue by limiting the SATA-sped to 3Gbit/s. This should be possible somehow...
    Does anybody know how to configure the SATA-controller to set up a SATA II / 3Gbit/s connection to the SSD?
    Thanks in advance!

    This article (in German) describes a thorough test.

    Another one is
    http://forum.hardmac.com/index.php?showtopic=9957
    (google for "ssd sata 3 macbook pro 13 2011 hang" and you will find many reports of incompatibilities.)
    The author tested one sata II and three sata III solid state drives in an MacBook pro 13" early 2011.
    There are many articles in the net describing problems with MBP 2011 and sata III ssds.
    I hope that limiting the sata controller to 3Gbit/s will solve the problem.
    I would prefer this solution over buying a sata II ssd. First, because all modern ssd have sata III support and second, because I will be able to use the ssd when I switch to the MBP 2012 at some time in the future.

  • 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".

  • W520 support for SATA III or 6GB with Vertex 3 240GB SSD

    I need a laptop that supports 16GB memory, HD display (1920 X 1080) and SATA 3 with 6Gb speeds to leverage my existing Vertex 3 240GB SSD.
    Looking up PSREF, I find the W520 specs state SATA 3Gb/s (SATA II?) while the chipset is QM67 which is supposed to support SATA III 6Gb/s.
    So the question is, does the W520 support SATA 3 at 6Gb/s? I need the throughput to leverage the throughput of the Vertex 3 240GB SSD  for multiple VM's on my laptop.
    Thanks and regards

    Just for the record i been using several SSDs with the W520 including the OCZ Vertex 3 and OCZ Vertex 3 max and they both fit fine with the rubber rails in the W520. Just don't mount the case that is normally around the HDD/SSD. You won't need that case anyway when using the SSD in the W520. Use only the rubber rails and the SSD will fit fine and should be seated fine as well.

    Since my general recommendation for a normal SSD is the Samsung 830, my recommendation for an mSATA SSD is the Samsung PM830. The PM830 is the Samsung 830 in a mSATA format. It is also somewhat future-proof in the sense that it is capable of SATA III speeds.

  • 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.

    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.
