You are asking a question that does not need an answer. The drive currently in your laptop as shown by the pictures you posted is running in SATA 2 mode. That is either because the drive itself is SATA 2 or because the motherboard only supports SATA 2. Either way, buy what you want. SATA 2 SSDs are very old now and most anything you buy that is current product will be SATA-3. Install it in your laptop. It may be forced to run as a SATA-2 device but will still be very very fast. SATA is all interoperational. You can put a SATA-3 device on a SATA-I port and it will work at the highest speed supported by the port/motherboard.

 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

if i set SATA-3 SSD to SATA 2 slot on motherboard may be there is no chance of SATA-3 SSD to bottomlack ????

HP Recommended

I don't know what bottomlack is. 

HP Recommended

i mean if i replace dvd-drive with SATA 3 SSD using SATA 2 slot may be there is a chance of downside or simply say that is SATA 3 SSD worth it on sata 2

HP Recommended

You do not want to replace the DVD drive with an SSD. Put the SSD inside the laptop and put a hard drive in the DVD slot with an adapter. The DVD SATA port might even be SATA-I and the SSD in a DVD adapter would not be bootable so the cost is wasted. 

 

Yes putting a SATA-3 SSD on a SATA-2 port is worth it. Still way way faster than a hard drive. 

HP Recommended

you mean that i should put SATA 3 SSD in place of HDD inside the laptop and put the HDD in place of dvd drive.so in this way the sata 2 slot of HDD will be available for SATA 3 SSD and dvd drive slot for HDD may be slow speed for hdd.

m i right sir ??

HP Recommended

Yes that is exactly right
