The mSATA SSD is SATA III speed ? and what is the SSD brand?

Yes, the mSATA SSD is SATA III. Regarding the brand, it could be A-DATA or other 1st tier brand.In MSI website they doesn't release such information.

That compatibility is based on the interface. I believe this MB has a SATA3 3Gb/s ports. Why a 10k rpm drive versus an SSD?

Hi Ernest, Here's what I found on the Lenovo Forums site - http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-mSATA-speed/td-p/767485. According to what they say here, NO, your t430 will not support this drive because the msata port is sata2 not sata 3 which is what this drive is. Good news is it does support SSD msata 2 so you need to look for an msata 2 drive....

If you mean the SATA version support, it looks like it is Sata 3. The drives I have connected to this unit are showing 5.8Gb/s speeds.

If you are referring to the SATA HDD connection, it is 3 gb/sec per the board manufacturer's specifications.

mSata SSD. I installed one, it was very easy, apart from repositioning the heat sync, which was just lightly tricky.Note that doing this might void you warranty (check the maker's online documentation.).

that depends on you mother board...raid x is raid x ....but sata3 is way faster then 1 or 2 ... then thers how meany drive you put in raid vs the max speed of you raid card what ever it is

SATA is backwards compatible. You just will get SATA2 speeds instead of SATA3. Of course mechanical HDD max out at SATA2 around 120-150 MB/s so it doesn't matter. And if you're not transferring from another SATA3 SSD then you will be bottlenecked at SATA2 anyway.

yes its sata III compatible but it can only run at sata II speeds. I instaled a sata III ssd and my read speads are 260mbps but on sata III motherboard it can do about 550mbps, almost double. but I haven't seen a laptop that supports sata III yet, only desktops.

I think this indicates the type of SATA interface speed. There's SATA I (1.5GB/s), SATA II (3.0GB/s), and SATA III (6.0GB/s). The higher the SATA interface, the greater the potential bandwidth throughput it can support.

they are two different things. SSD is a type of disk, SATA is a type of connection. So yes, it's a SATA SSD.

1- supports sata 3 up to 6Gbps. Backward compatible to sata 2 (3Gbps) and sata1 (1.5Gbps) specification. 2- No! This is an all in one unit. I'm using 2 64GB SSD drivers and set it up in a raid . It speed up your computer 100x better. It almost instantly the changes to the next window. I like this setup and it is in a nice package.

I'm using a "Crucial M500 M.2 2280 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT120M500SSD4 " that I caught on sale for $46 for boot and antivirus, with a 500GB ssd for pgms and a 1TB for snapshots and data. No problems with install from optical disk, no problems running Win7. Not any faster than a standard ssd. Consider what you will do when the M.2 ssd fails, do you have a back up replacement ready to go? Or will you revert to a standard ssd?

YES, it does have a 32GB mSATA SSD drive! Those individuals stating that it doesn't in their reviews are wrong! They're looking at "Devices and Drives" or "Disk Management" and not SEEING the SSD because it is HIDDEN by the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) program (probably as a protective measure)!!! The 32GB drive has 2 partitions: the hibernation partition (used by Intel Rapid Start) and a cache partition (the largest, used by Intel Rapid Storage Technology) which greatly speeds up the 5200 rpm HDD. I'm sure if they'll just go into "Device Manager" and select "Disk Drives" it'll show up and they can come back and correct their reviews.

I do not think this enclosure supports SATA III, as an Anker representative told me: "The speed is restricted by the chipset as well. This Uspeed enclosure supports up to SATA 2 perfectly but only compatible with SATA 3. While, the one you compared [SIIG SATA 6Gbps to USB 3.0 enclosure] seems to be with updated chipset to compatible with 6Gb/s."FYI, here are some speeds in MB/s, with an Intel 330 120GB SSD:Anker USB 3.0/eSATA enclosure (this enclosure): 176.4/134.2Seagate GoFlex Slim USB 3.0 interface: 250.5/152.5SIIG 6Gb/s SATA to USB 3.0: 257.9/149.6Newer Technology Voyager S3: 396.1/136.4The Anker is the slowest of the bunch.

Can't say. I didn't have to update tho. This is what I bought:OCZ Technology 256GB Vertex 4 Series SATA 6.0 GB/s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive (SSD) With Industry's Highest 120K IOPS

I don't know specifically, but generally speaking, an SSD is about 10 times faster than a hard drive,
