Does Satelite R630-146 support SATA II (SATA-300) HDD

Hi,
I am planning to change my current HITACHI 5K320 320GB HDD (HTS543232L9SA00) which is SATA I (*SATA-150*) to new HDD, but I can't find any information will my Toshiba Satelite R630-146 support new SATA II (*SATA-300*) HDD.
Maybe anyone has any ideas where I could find such information?
Thanks,
Vaidas

Hello
SATA II HDDs are downgrade compatible to older SATA I interface. They have the same power and specification so its no problem to change the HDD to SATA II.
Furthermore there is no HDD capacity limit so you can install every 2.5 HDD. You can buy one with 500GB, 750GB or more, thats no problem :)

  • 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,

    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.

    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 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 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.

  • Western Digital 500GB SATA-300 HDD

    Can i install a Western Digital 500GB SATA-300 Hard Drive in my imac?
    Please help!
    My imac is a Intel Based 17¨ 1.83 MHZ.

    You can't install anything (including a new drive) inside an Intel iMac with the exception of ram, if you want to preserve the warranty. This is not to say internal drive couldn't be replaced if you are willing to open the case, or get someone to do it for you. Not clear which Intel iMac you have, your descriptive line at the bottom of your post said it was a "g5" and none of the intel iMac's are g5 based. If yours is a core 2 duo it is quite possibly under the original warranty still, but even if it is a core duo machine and you purchased Applecare you would be advised not to pry open the case.
    A better approach would be to buy an external drive in an enclosure with a USB or firewire interface and use that for your drive expansion.

  • 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

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

  • Does the dv6-6c20eo support SATA 3?

    I want to replace the slow 5400rpm mechanical hd with a faster SSD disk. I would be nice if it said somewhere if this computer support SATA3 or the slower SATA2.

    Nope the iMac's have SATA 2 controllers, 4 USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 800 port and 1 or 2 Thunderbolt ports depending on the model. > Apple - iMac - Compare the 21.5- and 27-inch iMac.

    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..

  • 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 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,

    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?
