Is hp dv6001tx SATA III enabled?

As from the subject. Is dv6001tx sata 3 enabled as I am planning on upgrading my laptop with a sata 3 ssd. thanks

Hi,
SATA III is backward compatible with SATA II therefore you can use SATA III for your machine w/o any problem. Only you have to pay abit more but detting no benefit.
1. Download this program, install it on your machine and run it,
2. Click the controller icon (red circle) and then the controller itself (3Gb/s is SATA II).
3. Check bottom part, it should tell you all:
Regards.

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

Xpower Sata III Setup for Boot drive

Hi again, I need help setting up my sata drive now...So far I have set sata 6gbs controller mode to AHCI.
Verfied the Marvell bios recognized my drive correctly and installed windows. Was I supposed to change anything
in the marvell bios(Virtual Disk? Assuming that is for 2 drives for raid)? Now I need to install the drivers for them. Should I install any other drivers first (Chipset, Lan, etc)? Also should I download them from msi or marvell? One thing in the manaual threw me off "Important: Only when you set the "AHCI" mode in the integrated Perpheral menu of mainboard bios setup, you have to install the raid drivers for the sata devices"? What exactly do they mean? Then it goes on to show how to install the drivers for bootable raid array. I kinda get the impression I was supposed to install the drivers via a disk as I was installing windows? Do I need to start over?

well my Marvell controller recognizes my drives, it will let me install windows on them. but i have no option at in the msi bios that would allow me to select on of these disks for a boot drive. my only bootable options are on the sata ii ports. i have tried my ocz sold 3 ssd, my 10k velociraptor, and a 2tb seagte data drive. no option to boot from them. and when i boot from my dvd drive to install windows, when i come to the prompt to customize my install, windows tells me that i can not install windows on this drive because the controller is disabled please go into your bios to enable the controller to properly boot and install windows.
this is obviously and issue with the motherboard itself. at no point and time have i ever had the option to boot from the sata iii controller. ive owned this mobo for just under a year.

6560b notebook - no sata-III ssd drives detected - hardware problem - HP employee needed

hello,
I'm one of the authors of this thread about the problem statet in the title.
As the current forum thread might be slightly misplaced under 'Notebooks>Updates', I opened this thread here to get contact to one of the experts from HP.
We need technical support. We have tried every possible solution to fix this problem.
As several owners of the 6560b have experienced, sata-III SSD drives don't work in any of the two internal drive slots of the 6560b.
Most recent firmware updates on ssd / notebook are installed. The SSD drives work fine in other computers. The problem is reproducable. The drives are not correctly recognized on BIOS level at boot.
There is no known 6560b notebook running an internal sata-III drive.
Some of the drives that are reproducably failed to be recognized:
Kingston HyperX 120GB - Sata-III
Corsair Force3 120GB - Sata-III
Corsair Force GT 120GB - Sata-III
Intel 510 - Sata-III
OCZ Vertex 3 - Sata-III
OCZ Agility 3 - Sata-III
Sata-III drives appear to work and are bootable* via the external esata connection.
(verified by one user)
This, however, is no usuable workaround.
A short summary of the impact of this bug:
-it appears to affect every notebook
-the problem is not limited to SSDs with sandforce chips, one manufacturer, one drive size or one bios version of the 6560b.
Just to repeat this: the chipset as well as the sata-chipset are from Intel. Yet modern Intel drives (510 series) fail to be recognized. Therefore, this problem cannot be 'simple' chipset incompatibilties either, as Intel would not ship SSDs that have incompatibilities with their <6mo. old chipsets.
The problem does not directly relate to the hardware failures of sata-II ports known as 'intel-sata-bug' as the affected models include newer mainboards of revised steppings.

I have the same problem on my 6560b notebook. A brand new Kingston HyperX 240GB - Sata-III is unable to boot. Drive is not seen/detected at boot time by BIOS. BIOS is latest available (F.50). Chipset is Sandy Bridge HM65.
UEFI has been enable. I have to degrade manually, in BIOS settings, SATA3 (6Gbps) to SATA2 (3Gbps) for the drive to be usable. But perfs are not here for that kind of drive, so I'm very upset about that.
Any BIOS fix appreciated.

Z87 Mpower Giving Only SATA ii, Not SATA iii

SATA iii not working. All the latest drivers except intel_rst and intel_vga installed ("incompatible with system").
Recently fresh installed Windows 8.1 UEFI. Noticed that Samsung's software said that it's running only SATA ii. Verfied with Crystaldisk.
Am I missing something to enable SATA iii? I feel like I'm missing something incredibly simple, but I can't find it.
System:
MSI Z87 Mpower
Intel i7-4770k not overclocked
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 GB 2133 C9
MSI 760 4 GB with hybrid bios
Boot Disk: Samsung 840 pro 256 GB with UEFI Windows 8.1
Also running WD 300 GB Velociraptor, 2 TB WD Black, Intel 80 GB SSD with UEFI Ubuntu install; all hard drives using sata iii cables included with the motherboard; all drives on ports 0-5 (Z87 controller)

As a followup in case it's of any assistance to anyone, the problem solved itself, presumably through one of the many live updates from MSI.
I now have full SATA III.
Thank you flobelix for your time and assistance.

MBP 2011 13" - SATA III SSD's issues

Hello,
I have a MBP 2011 - 13" i5 and SATA III 6/3 from week 23 (June).
SSDs have issues:
Patriot Memory Wildfire fw 3.19 120 GB is unrecognized - The MBP can't find the SSD.
Crucial M4 fw 009 128 GB - Installing time Snow Leopard > 1,5 h, freezes, beachballs all the time, impossible to use.
I had a meeting at a Genuis Bar and the guy said to me: That isn't a cable issue because the HDD is recognized.
What can I do?
Best regards
alex547

This is starting to sound similar to the mid-2009 MacBook Pro issue. Those machines shipped with a chipset that supported SATA 3.0GB, but the firmware had them locked at 1.5GB. After people realized this and started to complain about it, Apple released a firmware update enabling 3.0GB support. Unfortunately, tons of people ended up having problems with trying to use third party 3.0GB drives (Apple shipped the machines with SATA 1.5GB drives). Basically, Apple's only response was that they didn't support third party drives. That issue was never resolved. After thousands of posts... it just faded away:

Intel 520 SATA III SSD causes atapi errors, but stock Hatachi SATA II does not

W520 Received March 2012. Took out stock Hatachi HTS72322A7A365 500GB SATA II drive and replaced with Intel 520-Series 240 GB SATA III SSD also put a second identical SSD in drive bay. All went well until a few days ago, now getting scores of Atapi - Event ID:11 - The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0. Either of these two SSDs bring up this error on channel 0 (underneath laptop). NEITHER (NONE) SSD brings up the error in the drive bay.
Put the Hatachi back and no error. What happened over the last few days? Hatachi SATA II no error; is there a W520 hardware problem with very high speed SATA III SSDs? Why the degrade all of a sudden? Bad chip set? BIOS was upgraded to latest, but still errors. Don't think there were any WIN-7 / 64 updates.
Call Lenovo to replace laptop? But NO errors with the stock / supplied SATA II Hatachi, just the SATA III SSD on channel 0, but not channel 1, so do I have a claim? Any ideas? I'd buy the wimpy Lenovo 160GB SSD (it's approved) for channel 0, but it's SATA II not III. SSD or W520?
W520 4282W59 WIN-7-64 i7-2760QM @ 2.40GHz 2401 Mhz, 16GB Memory, NVIDIA Quadro 1000M

I did a hard drive copy from the Intel 520 SSD in chanel 0 (underside laptop) to a new Samsung 830 256GB SSD in channel 1 (Ultra Bay). Remember I get the atapi errors on channel 0 with the Intel 520 SSD in chanel 0. The copy took longer that I thought it would. Then I put the Samsung in chanel 0 and the Intel in chanel 1 UltraBay. Reboot. No atapi errors! The Samsung DOES NEED "enable write caching and turn off buffer flushing" or it performs badly compared to an Intel 520 SSD. The Samsung (using ATTO and AS SSD) comes in at 475-495 MB/s with "enable write caching and turn off buffer flushing". It performs half that if "enable write caching and turn off buffer flushing" is not checked. The Intel SSD performs at 485-505 MB/s no matter if "enable write caching and turn off buffer flushing" is checked or not. These are general observations and are dependant on transfer size, queue depth and so forth, but this observation is repeatable.
So, all things being equal, one might conclude that the Intel 520 SSD is not compatible with the W520. NO. NOT. I put that Intel 520 SSD back into chanel 0 and booted up. Again see atapi errors. Next I did a complete software update from lenovo. Checked and installed all updates, recommended, critical, so forth. Ended up with all that bloatware. Big battery and Wi-Fi icons on notification area task bar... Ran the ATTO and the AS SSD in parallel. No atapi errors. Disk rates way up there at 500 MB/s. Ran MalwareBytes in parallel with MS Security Essential in parallel with ATTO in parallel with AS SSD. No atapi errors and still great disk rates.
Nest removed as much Lenovo bloatware as possible. Reboot. Still NO ATAPI ERRORS. The Intel 520 SSD is better than the Samsung 830 looking at AS SSD and ATTO, but the Samsung is quite respectable.
Solved? Yes mostly. I took another Intel 520 SSD that was always used as a one for one copy of my chanel 0 Intel 520 SSD. I put this other, identical copy, Intel 520 SSD in chanel 0 and again saw atapi errors. I upgraded Lenovo software, but only the one critical update (Intel ACHI SATA Driver 11.2.0.1006). Reboot. No more errors, BUT this (identical copy) Intel 520 SSD only works at SATA 2 rates. ATTO and AS SSD never go higher than 250 MB/s.
I will keep trying and get to the bottom of this. Maybe I'll install all that other Lenovo updates and see if the "copy" Intel 520 SSD goes up to 500 MB/s. Maybe I'll just copy the "working 500 MB/s" Intel 520 SSD to the "copy" Intel520 SSD but this is like giving up. Jimbetto, I would recommend doing what I did. Install ALL Lenovo updates and see if your problems go away. Or, copy to a Samsung 830 and then see if your problems go away.
Any comments from the group?

Can i install sata III hard drive?

Hi, i've an iMac G5 20" iSight with an intel core duo 2ghz. I would like to know if i can install a sata III hard drive like 128GB Crucial m4 2.5" SSD.
Thx a lot.

First, you do not have an iMac G5. G5s are PPC machines, but yours is an Intel model.
You can install a SATA III drive but I would not spend the money since your model only supports SATA I or SATA II depending on which model you have. I would also be careful about using Crucial SSDs because they may not all work in a Mac. I would get your SSD at OWC instead. You will find their equivalent product for SATA I or SATA II here. I have two of these drives, and they are excellent.

I am very happy with my Portege R835, except for the sata-issue....severely limiting my SSD speed, as I as many others bought this computer specifically because I thought it supported Sata 3. It is absolutely horrific of Toshiba to limit the sata speeds without telling their customers about it!! They will definitely lose thousands of customers on this rather stupid move of theirs. Unbelievable!! Why ruin such a good computer. Sell customers a Ferrari not telling them it's speed limited to 80mph. Toshiba; be up front about such vital information to your customers!!!

On my Macbook pro 15 2011, System Profiler is suggesting that it uses SATA III for the hard drive and SATA II for the Optical Drive. Is that true?

On my Macbook pro 15, 2011, System Profiler is suggesting that it uses SATA III for the hard drive and SATA II for the Optical Drive. Is that true?

That is correct. The tech specs indicate:
Hard Drive Interface
6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
Optical Drive Interface
3.0 or 6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)

Will a SATA III Hard Drive work on a Mac Pro 2,1 (2008)

Will a SATA III work on a Mac Pro 2,1 (I think 2008)?

If not the above, then what?

Apple Pro RAID card is not compatible with 3TB drives and never will be it now seems. It also lacks any real performance and is destined where RAID 5 is a must.
SSDs are a more interesting matter in choice and support... but not traditional platter type drives.
I use SSD for system now 100% on multiple systems, 10K WD VR ($200 for 1TB / 180MB/sec and variety of WD blacks and Green.
2008 has some interesting stuff, PCIe mix and support and booting, but more choices in GPU. Runs best with all 8 DIMM slots filled. Was the first to have UEFI to support 64-bit kernel but does not support industry standard enough to support Windows 8 UEFI.
Storage market would be a total mess like it was back in 2004 when SATA 1.0 moved to 2.0 and lots of problems. SATA 1.0 in early G5 was just PATA with an SATA interface chip slapped on and not "native" SATA. THAT is where the "will the IBM Hitachi or Seagate or Maxtor" really did require research. Not with Mac Pro line 2006 and on.

SATA III IN MACPRO 2009 and ML?

I have to replace two RAID drives and want to know if WD Black Caviar 2TB SATA III will be compatible with my MP 2009 and OS 10.8.3.
Thanks.

The fastest available rotating drives can source a burst of data off the platters at about 1G bits/sec. That is less than SATA I.
1) Which version of SATA is supported is not a limitation for most uses. Modern rotating drives are backward-compatible.
2) Do not pay extra for advanced SAT Bus speeds, as you will not see an improvement in performance based on faster transfer rates. It ends up being "More Headroom " not "More performance".

I have a late 2011 mac book pro and I'm wondering if it uses SATA II or SATA III for the hard drive? Which eventually I'm going to replace with a SSD.

I was wondering if the late 2011 macbook pro uses SATA II or SATA III for the hard drive. The reseason I'm asking this is because some day I'm going to replace the Hard drive for a SSD drive down the road and would like to use all the performance of the SATA controler.

SATA III.

Sata III hard drive cable compatible with older generation of macbook pro

Would my macbook ( 17 in mid 2009 ) be compatible with a new hard drive cable ( sata III ) ? I upgraded my hard drive to Samsung Pro 840 and wanted to upgrade my sata II cable to a sata III for faster read and write. Is this possible?

Dave The Newbie,
replacing the cable will not increase the interface speed, just as putting racing slicks on a minivan won’t make it a dragster. I have the same model SSD in my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, and my MacBook Pro’s SATA interface is limited to SATA II, just like yours. Unless you’re planning on mainly running disk-bound apps, it’s not something that you’ll need to worry about — just enjoy the SSD as is.
