X Series SATA II or SATA III?

I just bought a ThinkPad X201 (still shipping) getting ready to buy a sdd for it. does this thing support SATA III? Or am i limited to a SATA II.
Solved!

limited to SATA II at 3.0 Gb/s, SATA III which is 6.0 Gb/s is not implemented.

S415 SATA Interface - SATA II or SATA III?

Does anyone know what type of SATA interface is available on the S415? Is it SATA II or SATA III?

bridle_post wrote: How do I determine if my HP Pavilion HPE h8-1160 CTO supports SATA III? HP documentation doesn't seem to be specific about SATA II or SATA III. Considering an SDD upgrade. Thanks.
Hello bridle_post. It appears these series of HP systems ships with either an AMD chipset and an Intel chipset.
Both these chipsets in a retail motherboard support Sata lll, but it appears that in the HP motherboard version, Sata ll are only supported.
Here is a link to the specifications for this system with the Intel chipset, and it shows the specification for the hard drives as 3 GB/s.
Here is the link to the AMD motherboard, and it also shows 3GB/s.

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?

Hey everyone. Me again. I'm back to my hard drive replacement for my Macbook Pro Mid-'10 again, but this time it's about compatability. I've done extensive reasearch on what hard drive I want and I've narrowed it down to one (shown in the first link) but I keep getting mixed opinions on running Sata II vs Sata III in a Macbook Pro Mid-'10. Some say that you can only run a Sata II because that's the interface they were built with and wont communicate with an Sata III while others disagree. I even did a search from OWC's website (shown in the second link below) on what upgrade options I have and they have a hard drive with Sata III listed. I'm so confused. Is there anyone who can give me a straight answer?

Your computer supports SATA II - 3.0 Gb/s drives. Neither of those two are SATA II drives. Instead look at:
1.0TB 2.5" HGST Travelstar 7K1000 7200RPM SATA 2.0 3Gb/s 9.5mm Notebook Drive 32MB Cache
HGST Travelstar 2.5-Inch 1TB 7200RPM SATA II 32MB Cache Internal Hard Drive
Seagate Samsung/ 1Tb 2.5 Inch 5400Rpm Sata Ii Hard Disk Drive

Compaq Presario F557wm F500 Sata I II or III

Does anyone know if the motherboard supports sata I II or III? I know it has an sata connection, but can't find this information. I believe 422875-001 is the motherboard model. Thanks for any/all information.

Is my MacBook Pro early 2011 SATA II or SATA III ? Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,1

Hello all,
I'm thinking about updating my HD to a SSD to give my "mature" MAC an speed bump.
QUESTION:
Is my MacBook Pro early 2011 SATA II or SATA III ????
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB

Hold down the option key and, under the Apple () menu, select System Information. Under Hardware, look at the SATA/SATA Express tab and you'll see:
6 Gigabit is SATA III speed.
Good luck,
Clinton

V570 reports HDD at SATA 1.5 rather than SATA 3.0 (SATA I vs. SATA II)

I know there will be plenty to say, and this is only my second post on the forum, but trust that I understand what I am asking.
I know that the real world difference between SATA generations for HDDs is miniscule. I also know how to implement, and check the storage controllers.
I have the correct drivers, and REGARDLESS OF MY REASONS, I would like to know why my Seagate 5400.6 is running at SATA 1.5 and not SATA 3.0.
I checked it over and over after installing the Chipset, the AHCI, and the RST driver. I even tried countless versions of both, so I am fairly sure that its not a driver or software issue. That leaves: The chipset, The "UEFI/BIOS", or the HDD firmware. I should also mention that my last, and only other experience with Lenovo was with the T61 series that had the SATA II governer placed on it. I don't know how you would feel about that, but I simply did not like it.
There is one other promising post that is hasnt been updated for a while, but on it there is information about seagate Firmware. That being said, I have seen the same issue, without resolution, tucked in the far reaches of the forums of cyberspace....Its a Mystery.
I should mention that the machine is question is a:
Lenovo V570 with the 2nd Gen i5 2450, Sandy Bridge Architecture (so not the 2 port intel problem) and HM65 Chipset(so perfectly capable of SATA II).
Windows 7 64bit

I'm also wondering this about my V570.
I went to install an SSD into the optical drive bay, and even though system states everything should be Sata 3 Capable (6gbits/sec) it was capping at sata II speeds (3gbits/sec).
Can others chime in on what the heck is going on here?

Sata 2 or sata 3?

Hi:
The Intel HM77 Express chipset in your model can run a hard drive at the sata III speed.
Your notebook's product specs page:

OVM 2.1.2 does not recognize SATA 150 or SATA 300 disks with Intel ICH10R

OVM 2.1.2 does not recognize SATA 150 or SATA 300 disks.
This same machine recognizes these disks with Enterprise Linux 5.2 x86-64.
The motherboard uses the onboard SATA connectors:
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2842&ProductName=GA-EP45-DS3R
The SATA disks tested were:
WD Velicoraptor http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=459
Segate http://shop1.frys.com/product/4697788;jsessionid=BS106nlxF8+a7Vj0qKAh0Q**.node1?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

I could install 2.1.2 with some ancient IDE disks.
Is there something I can tweak to get the SATA disks recognized?

Just a wild guess on my part. Look in your /etc/modprobe.conf on your working config. Then try copying that kernel module over to your OracleVM server if it is not already there. If the OracleVM server already has the module then check modprobe.conf on your OracleVM server to verify the module settings are in there.

Sata 150 and sata 300 compatibility

If I have a laptop with a sata 150 capability, can I use a sata 300 drive in it?
I assume that it would run at sata 150 performance, but is it compatible?
Would I be able to benefit from the larger cache size? Would it tend to run cooler? Any other possible benefits or drawbacks?
The selection of sata 300 laptop drives is greater than the sata 150 now, and many of them offer a larger cache size (32mb instead of 16mb) as well as larger drive capacities.
Thanks for any advice.

Yes, SATA II (3.0 Gbps) drives are all backward compatible with SATA I (1.5 Gbps) connections. There's no advantage to using a SATA I drive if your connection is limited to SATA I, a SATA II drive will perform fine, and as you stated they are easier to find.

Which Hard Drive SATA II or SATA 3 ?

I plan to add second hard driver for desktop Lenovo 3000 K100 model # 57061334
just wonder which hard drive it supports, SATA II or SATA 3 ?
Thanks.

not even 15,000 RPM SAS drives can fully saturate a 1.5 Gb/sec channel by themselves. the best i've seen in my own tests is just over 130 MB/sec read and write. SATA 6.0 Gb/sec specs are pointless even for the best spinning platter hard drives, even in RAID 0.
with that said, the K100 uses a SATA 3.0 Gb/sec controller. while SATA 6.0 Gb/sec hard drives are backward compatible with 3.0 controllers, the best you'll see is around 80~110 MB/sec on any drives you're considering.
if the WD 640 GB is on sale and it fits your needs, buy it.

SATA Drivers and SATA AHCI Drivers for Zen 4.01 ir7 Boot CD

Our Zenworks Server is Zen 4.01 ir7 and we use Zen 4.01 ir7 Boot CD at our schools to install the Zen Parition which uses Linux Kernel 2.4.31.
I have no problem finding and compiling drivers for our Zen 4 boot cd and putting the correct information (.o file) in the NET folder under the DRIVERS folder and modify the DRIVER.CONF correctly as well.
Our only issue is that newer computers are coming out with SATA drives and some of the newer computers are coming out with SATA drives that support AHCI.
Are there SATA drivers and SATA drivers that support AHCI that we can put into our Zen 4.01 ir7 (Linux Kernel 2.4.31) and if so is there a link you can send me too and basically how do you put these drivers into the Zen 4.01 ir7 bootcd?
Thanks!

You may want to see if you can download and use a ZDM7 boot disk.
I've never tried it, but it may work.

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.
