Hi everyone,

 

I bought  HP 250 G3 (jJ4T62EA)  laptop. I have a question regarding the SATA 3.0 interface. I want change my HDD drive for Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD. Does my laptop support SATA 3.0 - 6.0 Gbit/s? Thanks for your help.

Hello again! 

 

I got SSD already, so I checked that my laptop supports SATA III. Samsung Magician, which is dedicated software for Samsung SSD disks shows that everthing is working  with full speed on SATA III (6 Gbit/s). In conclusion, if you have HP 250 G3 (J4T62EA), you can upgrade it without any loss of performance related with SATA interface. If you want I can put here benchmark results on the next week.

Yes it will support a SATA-III device regardless of the speed of its own SATA controller. SATA is backward compatible so a SATA-III hard drive or other device will run fine on a SATA-I or SATA-II bus. It appears the SATA bus on the laptop is SATA-II 300 Mbps.

Hi,

This laptop is equipped with the Haswell chipset. It definitely supports SATA III and a USB 3.0 is also present.

I found processor specification http://ark.intel.com/products/75105/Intel-Core-i3-4005U-Processor-3M-Cache-1_70-GHz.  It seems that it supports SATA 3.0.  I wanted to make sure that interace dosen't limit SSD speed. Thanks a lot for your help.

Check it when you get it. The chipset and processor specifications do not necessarily prove what HP has implemented and the spec sheet I found said it was SATA-II. It really makes no difference but the logic that you can say what the HP laptop will or will not do based on chipset and procesor specs is not exactly correct.

Ok, I'll put here benchmark results when I'll get SSD.
