SATA 3 (6Gb/s) support on an HPE-570t.

I just bought an HPE-570t desktop and would like to add an Intel 510 SSD as a boot drive.
I understand the motherboard in my new PC is a Petagron (Cleveland) with an Intel H67 chipset and that this chipset supports up to two SATA 3 (6Gb/s) and four SATA 2 (3Gb/s) ports.
Two quick questions:
1. Are any of the 4 SATA ports on my motherboard SATA 3? If so, which?
2. Intel had a high profile recall of its SB chipsets earlier this year - are the chipset on the current motherboards free of the earlier problems?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
Read the specification again. They indicate SATA 3G (3 GB). That means SATA II.
The OCZ Vertex 3 appears to be top dog for SSDs (excluding the PCI-E SSD).

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 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.

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.

SATA 6Gb/s support with mSATA slot in the T530?

I used the forum's Search function. That led me to several posts including T430s mSATA speed? (see someotherguy's post of 11-06-2012 09:54 AM) and T530, what are the sata speeds? (see lead_org's post of 20-11-2012 12:35 PM.) Both are well-informed and well-respected posters on this site.

MB471LL/A: 6GB Memory Support?: Express Port eSata Card?: Battery?

I bought this Macbook in early 2009:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/stats/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2 .53-aluminum-15-late-2008-unibody-specs.html
I've not actually had the time to use it yet (its still sealed), as I do all my work on various PowerPc G4 work stations - so please excuse my ignorance.
1. The model comes with a standard 4GB RAM, as per the specks listed at the link above; however, the specks say "third-parties have been able to upgrade the maximum to 6GB using one 2 GB and one 4GB memory module."
Any more information on this? Does one just buy a compatible 4GB module and pop it in or does this involve some kind hardware/software hack or product also?
2. I was looking to add a 34mm Express port card with preferably at least 2 eSata connections for use with a external hard drive dock such as this:
http://www.buy.com/prod/4-bay-esata-usb-to-sata-hard-drive-docking-station-2-5-3 -5-uk/q/loc/101/219384963.html
Any recommendations for a card without deep sleep issues (i.e., it causes the Mac not to wake up)? Will be updating to latest version of 10.5 once its up and running.
3. Recommendations for a spare battery? Having not used it yet, I am not sure how good the original factory one is.
Message was edited by: AntiFor

If you apply all available software and firmware updates and upgrades (including OS X 10.6.6), that machine will now support 8GB of RAM. Without any updates or upgrades, it will support 6GB. I recommend buying RAM for it here:

I can't recommend any eSATA products.

X58A-GD65 for SATA III 6GB/s - MARVELL OR JMICRON?

MSI and Forum members,
(spec in sig)
Currently, have my SSD and a Hitachi HDD on the 2 SATAIII ports
There is no Storage controllers listed in my Device Manager.
I guess it's defaulting to IDE mode despite settings in BIOS?
SSD is running good and at speeds advertised and boots.
HDD runs fine.
Was thinking if i should load a controller?
(i did before, and pretty much no noticeable difference)
If i load controller, which one should i load?
i've had instances of both on there and since have reloaded Windows 7 yet again.
Im not using RAID (obviously) on these 2 SATA ports at the moment,
but may try to in the future.
Welcome anyone's RAID experiences with either controller... as
it's more than my 0 ... just like my SATAII setting (hopefully will
be changed in the near future to 4xhdd RAID 5)
Thank you for your time.

Hi everyone...
THANKS A BUNCH For your replies...
learned a few things, but actually, some of this seem to conflict with what
i've read. so... now i got more Q's~!
Q1. How do i see if TRIM is working?
Q2. can i manually turn TRIM On/turn it Off ?
For SSD maintenance/preservation, every two weeks or so, i do
- full backup with win7,
- Clean All on my SSD drive
- just restore my SSD drive only from the backup
(This way, if TRIM isn't working/isn't working well/cant tell what does or does not work
only on Sundays and sometimes on Tuesdays, i still remove the garbage.)
Q3. Does this really work?
Quote from: Bas on 10-July-11, 09:35:25
AHCI is a bad setting for SSD, it makes it slower and it produces more commands on the BUS.
In fact the only thing AHCI is good for is hot-plugging, else don't use it if you don't need it.
- following two questions are in reference to this quote
Q4. How come people keep saying to move the SSD off the SATAIII ports onto the SATAII ports?
(maybe this is just myth/hype? or maybe that is solution only when the SATAIII ports are not
giving full performance?)
Q5. Does this AHCI "problem" also apply to regular HDD?
(I have a hot plug ready 3.5" drive bay for a 2.5" drive i can use at anytime so i set my SATAII ports to AHCI.)
Thanks AQUALAB for pointing out the Box and in conjunction with what Bas said about
the AHCI/IDE setting
Quote from: aqualab on 10-July-11, 01:11:12
from MSI :
- Supports one SATAII port by JMicron® JMB362 (SATA9)
Q6. So i should probably connect my Hot Swap to this SATA9 port instead of one of my
regular SATAII ports?
Q7. If i change my SATAII ports back to IDE ... will it break my RAID setup?
(this is not big deal at the moment. it was my boot drive for about 3 weeks, but right now,
im just running a few apps left on there after reloading win7 back onto my SSD but
im thinking about breaking it and setting up a bigger RAID5 and would like to have
at least all the BIOS part ready)
NOTE: if an admin wants to re-title my thread to "X58A-GD65 SATAIII-6GB/s: controllers/SSD/HDD questions" would be ok too
Thank y'all as always, i end up getting more answers here than out there in NeverNeverLand.

Help: Slow Crucial C300 256GB SSD in 17" MacBook Pro (2011) via SATA III 6Gb/s

Computer: 2011 17" MacBook Pro
Drive: Crucial C300 256GB
Drive Firmware: Revision 7
Bay: Main Drive Bay (6Gb/s)
OS: Lion 10.7.1
I did a fresh install of 10.7.1 and I'm getting these speeds on the above configuration:
Here is the same test run on my previous computer, a 2008 Mac Pro, with SATA II (same exact drive):
What is going on here? The Mac Pro with SATA II was running the C300 faster than the brand new 17" MacBook Pro 2011 running SATA III. This drive should be getting up up to 355MB/s read on SATA III.
Can someone please help me figure out why this drive is not running faster in my computer?
Thank you in advance.
FYI - I did install the new EFI 2.2 Update that was released in September. The above tests were after I installed the update! So you can rule out that I didn't install this update that supposedly fixed SATA speed issues on these Mac's.

I solved it. Xbench didn't give the best results. I tried other benchmarking tools and concluded that I am getting the SATA III speeds on this drive on this MacBook Pro.

G580 ADDING SATA III 6GB SSD

Hi guys
Im wondering if its possible to clone my current 1tb drive that has my os and recovery partition onto a new SSD,
or do I need to buy the recovery software from Lenovo if so how much is the software disc
Thanks

I tried cloning my 500gb drive and it didn't work. It appears GPT drives cant be cloned. Tried with a wide range of programs.
Also, there are no recovery discs for windows 8, if your drive fails, or you replace it, you're buggered. I spent three hours on the phone with Lenovo Support and Technical Services trying to have them send out a copy the "master discs" they use when recovering a serviced unit. But alas, they refuse to do so. Confidential, my backside. There is nothing on that dics that you can abuse after its installed on your computer. Its a jerk move by Lenovo, but whatever, Mountain Lion works like a charm on this thing.
Your choices are to buy retail Windows 8 Pro, download a pseudo-pirate ISO file with Windows 8 Core or simply chose another OS (Windows 7 and below, Linux or Mac OS )
If you choose to download, the legality of this is questionable mind you, and any or all responsibilty falls on you, there are two versions you should look for:
x86: en_windows_8_x86_dvd_915417.iso
x64: en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso

Adata sp900 sdd 128-GB ssd, optibay optical drive to replace superdrive, and 16 GB upgrade for macbook pro mid 2012.

Hello everyone,
Thank you in advanced for all of the support. This is my first post to the communities. I just bought a 2.9 GHz core 17 processor MacBook pro mid 2012 13" with 8 GB of RAM and I am in the process of upgrading it. When I bought the MacBook pro originally, I was told that I would never mac out the performance because I do not do a lot of photo/video editing. This is true, but I am an academic researcher and tend to multitask often, having 20+ safari tabs open, SPSS (a statistical program), full screen mail app, full screen calendar app, and preview, iTunes open all at the same time. I often get slow performance and error messages that state low memory. This is why I am interested in upgrading the laptop. I am getting ready to go to medical school and I want to have a powerful laptop. I also want to future proof because I plan on having a dual boot system to mac OS and windows OS.
Because I know I will be maxing out the performance of the computer, I want to take full advantage of upgrades, especially now because the cost of the components is reasonable at the moment. The following are the proposed upgrades:
1. Upgrade my current 8-GB ram (2x4-GB) with 16-GB ram (2x8-GB). I plan on using crucial RAM.
Crucial 16-GB Ram: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=IYGJWGQDH8LV0&psc=1
2. Replace my optical drive with a hard drive. I will place a SSD into my current hard drive position and then install my current HDD into the optical drive bay with the optibay optical drive caddy. I am doing this because I plan to use the SSD as the boot drive and my current HDD as my backup and files drive. I am putting the SDD into the HDD because I have read it is better to place it in this bay for performance. I will put the other HDD in the optical drive because the performance of that one will not be as important.
Adata SSD: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=IYGJWGQDH8LV0&psc=1
Optibay Optical Drive Caddy: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058AH2US/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=I3GI8MGWAKXY79
My questions:
1. Is the listed RAM appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
2. Is the listed SSD appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
3. Is the listed Optical Drive Caddy appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
4. Is there still a firmware problem that does not allow for SATA 3 (6Gb/s) support in the optical drive?
5. Would it be easier to format the new SSD outside of the MacBook using a SATA to USB adapter?
6. Does working on any of the listed components void my AppleCare (I plan on keeping all of the original components so I can replace them, if I ever need to see apple support)?
7. What is the best way to put Mavericks onto the SSD to make this my boot drive?
8. What is the best way to make all of my files remain on the HDD, but link to the SSD with the operating system?
9. Has anyone ever successfully upgraded to 16-GB RAM and used their optical drive for a secondary hard drive?
10. Is there any miscellaneous advice for this project?
Please feel free to give partial answers. I know this was a lot of information, but I wanted to be efficient in my post. I am very appreciative of everyone who will contribute.
Thank you!

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.

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)?

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?
