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 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 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 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 the T61 support SATA 3gb HDD?

Hi:
I want to install a new HDD with SATA 3Gb. Will it be supported by my T61 7658 CTO?
Will it be a difference in performance against a similar HDD with SATA 1.5Gb?
Thanks
RC
Solved!
Go to Solution.

T61 can use both the SATA3 and SATA 1.5 but the maximum transfer speed will be limited to 1.5 mode...

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 anyone has the t410 with sata III hdd inside?

Hello,
I am considering about replacing standard hdd by ssd drive and I am thinking is it sense to put SATA III drive inside.
Does anyone have this configuration and could talk about performance?
regards

I used a OCZ Agility 3 (Sata III) on the T410 previously then I moved to SSD to a W520 (support Sata III)... Both laptop boots fast and open applications at an amazing speed.... Not sure how to explain my experience though ...
I am not sure how to measure the performance cause I didn't do any benchmarking during that time ... but all I can say is .... SSDs are amazing ... hahaha
*Non Lenovo employee*
I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

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".

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.

Hi,
You can use a sata 3 solid drive but the connection is only sata 2. I would recommend a sata 2 solid drive instead of a sata 3 one on a sata 2 computer from my experience. Corsair is a good choice. But it's up to you and your pocket. Generally any solid state drives with the SandForce SATA controllers are good..

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.

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

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.
