Will this SSD still work with a SATA II Computer?

Yes it will. Just not to full capacity. SATA 2 caps at 3gb/sec instead of 6gb/sec which the drive is capable of.

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

I don't know; I haven't tried it. I am using "regular" e-SATA drives which work fine. Suggest contacting the manufacturer directly since they would know.

Hi Charles as a computer technician I can tell you that SATA is backwards compatible. So SATA II and SATA III will work in a SATA I the only difference is the max throughput that you will see for read/write performance. I do believe that E-Machine does have SATA ports on it. Secondly to see best performance you would need to install a SATA II or III controller for maximum performance. I installed a SSD drive in my mothers notebook and it's only SATA I it is only about half the performance in my desktop which is SATA III.

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?

I have not tried it, but it should be fine. It doesn't care what SATA drive you plug in really, it's up to the OS to figure that out anyway.

John Jamieson is not correct in stating that SATA is backwards-compatible. It all depends on the manufacturer's specifications. You'll find that some of Samsung's SSDs (look at the EVO) will work with SATA-I, SATA-II, and SATA-III, while the Crucial M500 SSD will only work with SATA-II and SATA-III.

Generally if it has a standard SATA connection, it should work. The only thing I could see a possible issue with would be the encryption that the drive uses and if special software would be necessary. I don't know much about that type of drive.

works on sata2 - i have one of the 840 series 250g installed in an old pc with sata2

I don't know, but it should. I use a SATA II drive. Check the specs. It should say.

Yes this drive will work with this computer model and it's a fast drive. If you want something fast which also comes with cloning software. Take a look at samsung 850 EVO ssd drive 250G.

I can't say for certain if it does or not. But one way you should be able to tell is by checking the pins to see if they match; on your motherboard and on the drive. Most mSATA SSD ports should be compatible with most mSATA SSDs though.

That should work fine with the SATA interface. If you are upgrading I hope you have an "image" of your original drive, or contact Toshiba support to obtain an original disk set for your unit.

Most Sata connectors are backwards compatible. Just do a quick Google search.

Hi, While the odds are that it will work, two issues. First, 1st generation SATA controllers often have problem communicating with SATA III devices. Technically, SATA III is backwards compatible. In practice, there are problems. Second, driving an SSD through a 1.5 Gb/sec link will rob it of its speed. The access times will still be fantastic, but you will be running a 400 MB/Sec device through a 150 MB/sec pipe. It's not something that I would count on to show a benefit.I got this answer from the following website: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/274873-32-will-work-older-system Hi, While the odds are that it will work, two issues.

Yes this HD will work on a SATA II two connection. The bottle neck is the SATA II connection it will work but wont be as fast as a SATA III connection.

Sata III is backward compatible with SATA II and I. As is SATA II backward compatible to SATA I. But SATA I cannot run a SATA II or III drive. But i'm assuming this is the answer you were looking for as your question was a bit vague.

I haven't tried it with SATA II or SATA III drives. Sorry about that. I have found that it is not very dependable for simply using hard drives as USB drives - sometimes the computer fails to recognize drives plugged into the Calvary duplicator.
