My motherboard is sata 1, does this item change the motherboard to sata 3 speed after installed?

This does not effect the motherboard SATA ports. If they are SATA1, they remain SATA1. You should invest in a new motherboard, or at least something newer.Please read your motherboard PCI specifications to see what performance you might expect by using this card. Not all PCI support is equal, and an older motherboard might not perform up to your expectation.

This card supports sata 3, for the drives that are plugged into it. If the drive is plugged into your motherboard it will remain sata1 if it's plugged into the card it will be sata 3

I don't know if it will. My computer is SATA III. Sorry I am not being much help for you!

SATA3 drives are backwards compatible with SATA1. It's merely a bandwidth upgrade that you won't be able to take advantage of. So you should be alright with this drive though you might lose a bit of performance in the read speed in some instances.

It depends if you have a sata or an old pata if you have a sata then yes and you need to install a new OS to it the boot time is a bit faster because of the solid state part of this drive I hope this helps you :)

It depends on what kind of connection your motherboard is using for the cd drive. If it uses SATA than no, you'll need to find a different one.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards. Hope this helps

My experience would say yes, what you're asking is certainly possible and that you should also contact Gigabyte and/or provide more info to be sure. In general what you're asking is a common setup. You should check to make sure your mSATA port is SATA 3 also, because I have the feeling it might not be.I'm back because I became curious and did some homework. I foresee no problems and that you'll likely just have to tell it to boot to mSATA in BIOS. It also appears that your mSATA is SATA 2, if that matters to you.

it depends on what motherboard you have. you should check if your motherboard has something called SATA connectors, which this drive uses. If your motherboard is older it might have something called and IDE connector and this drive would not work. The way you can tell is that an IDE connector is about 3 inches wide, while a SATA connector is maybe 1/2 inch wide. If you do have IDE, then find an older drive that supports the IDE connector

Just like everyone else is saying. Make sure you're comp is SATA III and you can find that out by lookin on your Motherboard, or the box it came with or an internet search

Yes, the memory slots are open, so the speed of memory shouldnt matter. I think they took the description from the MB...it fits the board, and whatever is installed on it.

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.

It does not. It is not even sata compatible. It connects into use port on main board

Yes. They should all be backwards compatabile for SATA. I used with SATA III as well.

I looked at the spec for this notebook and it says it has a sata hd, so it should work but only at sata1 speeds

You should be fine with this one. Sata II runs at 3.0 GBps and Sata runs at 1.5 GBps. Do some research on Google but you will more than likely be more than satisfied.

Good if the connection is sata sata 3 speed will be fully optimized.I believe you will have a good performace with sata 3.gratefulHerbert

Your answer to both is yes because SATA is Serial ATA drive. Happy hunting.
