SATA III for Pavilion dv7t series

Do both hard drive slots in the dv7t series support the SATA III spec (6 Gb/Sec) ?

Yeah, I've been researching this subject, and it seams that this situation can occur if they used a SATA II cable (4-wire) to connect the SSD instead of a SATA III cable (10-wire). Apparently, you can use a SATA II cable with SATA II or SATA III devices/ports, and the connection will function at SATA II speeds. However, a SATA III cable will not work with a SATA II device/port.
Does anyone know if the available HDD caddy kits for dv7-6000 laptops contain SATA II or SATA III cables?
Crap! Everyone please ignore this. I had my head up my butt earlier today. This pertains to USB2 vs USB3, not SATA II vs SATA III. There's no real difference in SATA cables. If you look at the design specs, you will see that they are the same. Sorry for the confusion.

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)

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-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.

This is the best processor your motherboard will accept:
AMD A8-3520M 2.50 GHz processor (1.6 GHz Front-Side Bus (FSB), 1333 MHz/4.0 MB L2 cache, quad core, 35 W)
You have the second best processor an A6-3420M. It would bump you from AMD 6520M to AMD 6620M graphics. It is an APU; the video is built into the processor.
The upgrade of the processor is a major task. I am not sure it will be worth the effort. Gains will not be very large. However, the processor is cheap:

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.

And, will SATA II PM require new cases? Will the 5PM still work, but limited performance?
Hi,
The SeriTek/5PM enclosure uses a Silicon Image SiI-3726 port multiplier that is limited to a maximum of 250MB/s per enclosure. Multiple enclosures can be used to increase performance. You can see an example of this on the SeriTek/2ME4-E performance page found here: http://www.firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-2me4-e/perform/
As "6G" controller drivers are available with port multiplier support, all SiI-3726 based enclosures including the 5PM will work. The "6G" standard is backward compatible with 3G and 1.5. However, these enclosures will always be limited by the 250MB/s bandwidth limit found in the SiI-3726 PM. When hard disk performance was less than 90MB/s, the 250MB/s limitation was not that big of a deal as it took three hard disks to reach that limit. Now with the Samsung F3 providing up to 140-150MB/s with a single hard disk the port multiplier limit can be reached much sooner.
What the 5PM is really great at is increasing storage capacity. Since a single PM can support up to 5x the amount of disks as a direct connect configuration it will always provide the most disk space. 5 x 2TB = a 10TB enclosure on a single cable. Multiple enclosures can be used when both high capacity and higher performance are desired.
If the user does not need to support lots of hard disks, direct connect enclosures with one SATA cable per hard disk can provide very nice performance with a PCIe 4-lane Mac eSATA controller.
Pick your poison. Both PM and direct connect enclosures should work with "6G" controllers that support PM. What I am more concerned about is the possibility of enhanced Mac eSATA compatibility issues for hybrid enclosures that use eSATA/FireWire/USB or any combination of these multiple ports with the standard AHCI driver.

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:

Right, MacBook Pro 17" early 2011(Built March) and my new OCZ sata III 6G not working, when is Apple going to admit there is a problem with the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. In System Information it says "Link Speed: 6 Gigabit" which is sata III.

My MacBook Pro 17" early 2011(built March) and my new OCZ sata III 6G are not working together, when is Apple going to admit there is a problem with the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. In System Information it says "Link Speed: 6 Gigabit" which is sata III and in my MacBook Pro it does not work.
Now MacBook Pro 17" early 2011 built May onward do not have this problem it was fixed in the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. (So there is a problem). Cam I have my MacBook Pro fixed please.

After biting the bullet and ordering more RAM, my computer now is working a ton better. So that must have been the main issue. With 8 GB RAM, I can now even run Parallels fluidly (better than my work PC!) where before simple things like logging in to my MBP after reboot could take forever.
The place I went to had several other people getting RAM upgrades at the same time as me, so between this and other comments I've seen in discussions here and elsewhere on the Internets, I take it to mean that either Apple should bump up the base RAM on its new machines, and/or stop charging so much for additional RAM.
I refused to believe a Pro machine bought with Lion installed would come with too little RAM for light to medium usage, but it was apparently the case. I'll mark this as a correct answer and hope some other poor soul will come across this thread and be helped by it.

Big Problems with Samsung Series 830 SSD SATA III (256GB) and W520

Hi,
i get my W520 last week with an normal SATA 500 GB Drive, at home i changed it to a Samsung Series 830 SSD SATA III (256GB) and install windows 7 64bit pro via recovery media.
I was wondering, startup was taking very long .... from starting windows to the logon screen 1.45 minutes ... Now i tried a new recovery, same issue, tested the harddisk which is in good state.
I changed back to the 500GB Drive, startup take only 30 seconds around....
Are there any known issues?

Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion dv7t-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC with the black screen (of death) due to a known fault with the graphics chip. I have been trying to buy a replacement motherboard at an affordable price that does not have this problem. I have seen several HP Pavilion motherboards that look very similar to mine, but have a different part number. Can anyone tell me or recommend a replacement motherboard that is compatible with my laptop and hopefully does not have this known graphics chip problem. Thanks for your time and support.

We need the P/N to verify what board will fit in that laptop and also you can use that P/N from service manual to locate the part on eBay to find a match or call HP support to see what the board would cost.

Hard drive mounting kit for DV7T series laptop

I recently bought a HP DV7T series laptop from HP. It has a 2nd hard drive bay so I can increase my storage by adding a 2nd hard drive. The trouble I am having is actually getting the part needed to mount the drive. I need the 2 mounting rails and the e-sata cable which is in the kit part number 517639-001. This kit includes the mounting rails, e-SATA interface cable, and mounting screws. The trouble is HP parts says that the product is not available, but tech support says they can get it for me for $400!?! That's a 3rd of the price of the laptop and it is only for 2 rails, some screws, and a cable. Does anyone know where I can get this part? Or contact information for someone at HP that could help with this. Parts and tech support did not think the $400 price tag for that was overkill. I tried asking for a manager, but all the rep would do was put me on hold and "relay" answers. Final word was I need to contact a 3rd party. This is a new laptop, less than a week old; I find it hard to believe that HP does not have the part.

You could try Amazon, eBay, CraigsList, etc. The usual warnings apply: Check the reseller ratings, don't deal with anyone that does not offer a return policy (don't shop with anyone whose post says "All sales are final"), and pay only with a credit card so that you can reverse charges in worst case scenario.

2nd hard drive for HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Notebook - What do I need?

Hi, I have the HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertainment Notebook (Product # WV703AV). It has room for two harddrives but only came with one. What would I need in order to install the second hard drive? Would I need just a connecting cable or do I also need caddy or kit?
Also, could I get a solid state? Would my notebook support that or does it only use regular ones?
Currently, I'm running Windows 7 64bit. I've got a 500GB hd (which came partitioned with hp tools/recovery).
Any help with what I would need for a traditional hdd or ssd would be greatly appreciated. I tried to look through other people's posts first, but couldn't find anything specific to my model. Thanks for your time!
This question was solved.

Hi:
The only place I know of where you can get a 2nd hard drive kit is from this vendor.
http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=345
Your notebook should be able to work with a SSD but I cannot guarantee it.
I really don't see any point in adding a SSD unless you make it the primary hard drive, and in order to do that, you would need to get a SSD the same size as the original 500 GB hard drive to use the recovery disks to reinstall the operating system.
Most folks get smaller SSD's and they use the W7 product key to activate a plain installation of W7.
If you can read all 25 characters of your windows 7 product key you can make your own installation media and use that to install Windows on a smaller than 500 GB SSD.
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://download.cnet.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.
