Cq45-103au supports sata II?

I'd like to upgrade my laptop HDD to SSD.
So, I wonder if my CQ45 103au supports sata I or II?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I couldn't find the specs but the manual says that CQ45 series laptops use PM45 and GM45 chipsets. AMD chipset should also support SATA II connection.

  • 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?

    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 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?
    Thanks,

    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.

  • Does the Mac Pro v1.1 support SATA II 6Gb/s?

    Does the Mac Pro (late_2006) support SATA II 6Gb/s internal hard drives?

    Of course not, not in the sense that 6G existed but you still can use any SATA II/III specification drive.
    So yes they are supported in that sense.
    Only limit is if you use current SSD you still get great IOPS and such just not the sustained writes.
    NO Mac Pro actually has an SATA III port. And it is more about features and specs and all drives have to be backward compatible or drive vendors would be foolish and go out of business (not everyone can or wants or needs to upgrade their motherboard).
    You can add PCIe SATA 6G such as CalDigit and others.

  • 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.

  • 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..

  • Do the 8200 elite CMT motherboar​d SATA ports support SATA port multiplier​s?

    I have an HP-Compaq 8200 elite CMT. I'd like to expand my SATA connection capacity using a SATA port multiplier. Specfications for most of them indicate they work only with motherboards that support the SATA PM / port multiplier feature. Does my motherboard support PM?
    Thanks!

    @Paul_Tikkanen 
    Paul,
    You have one of the models.
    Most Intel PCs that I have come across don't support SATA port multipliers except for MACs.

  • 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.

  • Mega PC 865 Pro Support SATA 2.0 ?

    I have some question abt hdd stat2 with Mega Pc 865 Pro because i read manual of this pc and see sata 2 in book and i think that it support sata version 2 (300 Mb/S) anybody use sata2 with mega pc 865 pro ? and what maximum of hdd that support 250 GB ? Thank U for any answer 

    i don't know about the 865PRO, as i've never used one, or seen one in action
    but on the other Megas, the fan usually rotates at a slower speed, until the temp increases under CPU load, then it speeds up to compensate
    P4 Prescotts are hot CPUs anyway, and if they aren't installed correctly, they'll run hotter. try removing the heatsink, cleaning off all the old thermal pad, and using a good thermal compound such as Arctic Silver 5. apply a thin layer to the CPU die surface, and then refit the heatsink. make sure no stray cables are blocking airflow to the CPU heatsink fan.
