Does x220-i7 and x230 support USB 3.0 and SATA III (6GB) ExpressCards?

I am going to buy a used x220 i7 or x230 i5 and would like to confirm:
1)Each and every x220 and x230 laptop (regardless of model and options) does have an available (external) MiniPCI Express slot.
2)Every x230 i5 and x220 i7 (including those that do not have a built-in USB 3.0 port) will fully support a USB 3.0 ExpressCard adapter with 2 USB 3.0 ports and will get a USB 3.0 speed on Win7-64.
3) Every x230 i5 and x220 i7 will fully support a SATA III (6GB) ExpressCard adapter with 2 ESATA ports and will get a SATA III speed on Win7-64.

It will support the card, but speed may be limited due to the limitations of ExpressCard.

MSI P55A-G55 and Sata III question

I'm willing to buy MSI P55A-G55. I want to install high speed SSD drive which supports Sata III and normal Sata III plate drive on it. I have also Zotac Geforce 8800 GT graphic card. Will drives and graphic work on full speed while both connected? I can't find any information about it. Another thing: does this motherboard support Intel Xeon x3440? Please help.

Thats a sudden decision?

GD-85 and SATA III

Guy's, have a new build on the GD-85 with a single WD black sata III HD. On the marvell controller post screen it shows the drive running as SATA II. The drive is connected to the white MB SATA connecters, using the MSI supplied
SATA cable, no jumpers on the drive. HD tuner shows the HD running as SATA II in win 7.All drivers are loaded in win 7 and the device manager shows all controllers. I'm missing something in the BIOS to get this HD into SATA III mode,
what is it that I'm missing?
Bruce

How many red ones do you have? Look closely at each cable. There should be specifications information printed onto them.
I just found the following document on this site: http://www.sata-io.org/developers/technical_library.asp
http://www.sata-io.org/documents/SATA-6Gbs-Fast-Just-Got-Faster.pdf

The same cables and connectors used for current SATA implementations can be
used to connect SATA 6Gb/s devices. SATA-IO recommends utilizing quality
components to ensure data integrity and robust operation at the fast 6Gb/s transfer rate.
Cables already at the threshold of 3Gb/s operating margins may experience lower
performance than expected at 6Gb/s due to an increased number of resends.
Not sure if this has to do anything with you issue but it still makes me scratch my head.

MBP 5,5 supports OWC Pro 6G SSD SATA III?

My MBP 5,5 (bought it in 2009) hard drive got failure so I ordered a OWC SSD Pro 6G for replacement. I have it installed but it can't be recognized during the OS installation, and even does not show up under the Disk Utility.
However, if I put this SSD as external hard drive via USB, it works perfectly, so my answer is - does my MBP supports this SSD?
Thank you

You got a SATA II bus, but for some reason, you are only connecting at 1.5Gb/s. Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.

My laptop supports SATA III 6Gb / s?.

Hi all.
I have the Pavilion DV6 6C16NR and I want to buy a SSD (OCZ Vertex 4) III SATA 6Gb / s.
I investigated if the laptop supports 6Gb / s.
1. The manual says 3Gb / s.
2. A few days ago i talked on chat with HP technician and he told me that the chipset supports 6Gb / s, then obviously, your laptop supports it.
3. Talk to another technician today and tells me that he talk to the supervisor and the laptop does not support 6Gb / s.
I'm really confused.
The chipset of the laptop if it supports 6Gb / S, if you search the web you will see that Intel says it.
Can you help, supports 6Gb / s or not?.
If not supported, it makes no sense to spend the money it's worth a SSD.

Hello, I downloaded the program but do not see where it says 6Gb / s.
I think that all new laptops with Sandy Bridge should support 6Gb / s.
I want to be sure before buying the SSD.

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?

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..

MSI-AIO-Windtop-2212G and SATA 3 Support

Hello,
I know that AIO PC comes with SATA 2 HDD.
But does this pc has SATA 3 support too?
Cause i think to install an SSD 3 !
Thanks

it supports only SATA II speeds of 3Gb/s max on the SATA ports as its a Intel® H61 Chipset based board it uses so is limited to that speed at a max!
you would be able to use a SATA III (6Gb/s) drive but it will only run at at SATA II speeds of 3Gb/s!

Yoga 13 Supports 500gb Boot drive but not running as SATA III?

Hi All,
I had previously installed a 250gb Plextor drive in the second mSata slot and upgraded the RAM to 8gb in my Yoga 13 IdeaPad which I purchased early in 2013. I followed the installation instructions and guidance offered by the Community so thanks to all who posted and other than the occasional skipped heartbeat as I removed cables it went well.
As SSD prices are now dropping I decided to try adding a Samsung 840 EVO 500gb. I was a little skeptical about taking the chance after reading the comments posted here and elswhere regarding the 256gb "ceiling" for both slots but decided "no pain, no gain" and went ahead anyhow.
I'm happy to report ( I think) that I was able to install the drive. First, in the secondary slot and then finally, as the boot drive in the primary slot. I had originally installed it in the 2nd slot after removing the Plextor drive and leaving the original 128gb boot in place. I entered the bios and it was recognized, I saved the settings and then initialized and formatted the drive with the disk management tool. No problems.
I then wanted to move the Plextor drive to the primary so that I would have a larger boot drive. Since the old primary was a Samsung I though I might be able to use the Samsung migration utility to clone the old boot drive to the Plextor. Following suggestions from others I put the Plextor into slot one and then put the old boot drive into an external usb3 housing. I tried several times to boot from the old boot drive through the usb but couldn't get it to work so I reinstalled the old boot drive back into slot 1.
Just for kicks I ran the migration utility with the Plextor attached though the usb. It didn't recognize the plextor drive but it did offer the option to clone to the 500gb in the second slot. I figured I had nothing to lose so I went for it. The clone finsihed and I then swapped the 500 gb into slot 1, put the plextor back into slot 2, started the bios, verified the drives were present and that the 500gb was the boot, and saved the changes. Presto, it booted just fine and everything appears to be ok. However...
Went I started the Samsung performance tool it told me that my drive was not connected to a sata III controller. The performance benchmark would back that up as my read/write and iops performance are pretty poor compared to what I was hoping. I've confirmed that the Intel C216 chipset that is installed does indeed support sata III 6gbs rates but the drive doesn't seem to think so.
There doesn't appear to be anything posted on the board about the controller or any similar issue - can anyone offer some guidance?
Thanks,
Paul

Well dont worry as to whether the Tranfer Mode is Reporting you S-ATA Drive at, as the UDMA Modes do NOT apply to S-ATA Drives, so if it is Reporting UDMA-5 or UDMA-6, there is No Difference with the Transfer speeds as far as S-ATA Drives are concerned........And I would Try to Enable the RAID Option in the BIOS, If indeed you are running a RAID Array ...............Sean REILLY875

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
Sarge Thomas
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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.

Sata-II or Sata-III -- R945 and Z935 series

are R945 or z935 laptops series support sata-III ??

I have the Z935 and from Device Manager I can see the Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller.
From the Intel web site that is part of the HM77 mobile series chipset. That chipset includes USB 3.0 and SATA III.
I upgraded to a Crucial M4 256GB mSata III SSD and I get read speeds in excess of 300 Mbps as measured by HDTune.
So I believe the Z935 is truely SATA III. I cannot speak for the newer R series models.

Hi All, I plugged my iPhone into my laptop and I was asked to upgrade my iTunes software. It took more than seven hours and just to be told that my SIM card does not appear to be supported. Since then I can not use my iPhone. I am lost plse help. Jam53
Every time I switch on the iPhone, the iTunes icon is displayed together with a USB icon and Emergency call message appears on the screen in many languages. When I touch the i symbol I get the following information IMEI: **** AND ICCID: ****
However, the iphone is visible in the Devices directory in iTunes. I changed my SIM card but still can not be recognized by the iPhone.

Do you mean when you say its locked to another carrier other then the one im using, that maybe my insurance sent me an iphone thats for a different network for example orange and not mine which is o2?

Does the new airport extreme support backing up via time machine to an external hard drive pluged into the usb port

Yes, but you might want to note that the port on the AirPort Extreme is only USB 2.0, and that it runs at about half the speed of the USB 2.0 port on a computer, so things are going to be quite SLOW as far as backups are concerned, or anything else for that matter.
