Does it support SATA III?

As far as I know it is SATA III but remember it is very difficult to replace the drive. You must completely disassemble the machine since the drive is on top of the board next to the keyboard, not on the underside like most laptops.

It is SATA II, the previous response is incorrect. SATA II = 3 GB/s, SATA III = 6 GB/s. SATA III is backward-compatible to SATA II but limited to the speed of the SATA II port.

It turns out the SATA port is just a pass through for the eSata port on the outside of the card. There is no built in SATA port on this board.

SATA III is backwards compatible with SATA I & II so it will work with this enclosure

it will work if this statement in the advertisement is true:"Supports Standard Desktop 3.5-Inch SATA or IDE Desktop Hard Drives"

I'm pretty sure it does. One problem is that it's a tight fit when connecting sata cables. I replaced it with the Antec Eleven Hundred.

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.

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.

Yes. It is comparable with all SATA drives. You just wouldn't be able to take advantage of the speeds of SATA III obviously.

yes, if your mac has: sata 1, sata 2 or sata 3 connection it will support it. Cheer's

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

As Richard says, it is supposed to work but in my experience it does not even for SATA II. For SATA III, if it worked at all and that is very unlikely, it will be so slow, you might as well write the data by hand.

No, I don't think so as the only connecting cable uses a specific USB 3.0 motherboard-capable connector. I do not remember seeing any ports for SATA connectivity.

Yes it does support SATA6 and Yes I used a i7 4770k and it works amazingly well. Overclocking works great, its just SUPER important that you download the latest drivers for all your components from their manufacturer websites.

Yes. All SATA standards are compatible with each other, but it is going to operate at SATA 1.0 speed. I guess if you're looking for capacity rather than speed, go for it.

It is tricky wording. You will be compatible with Sata III drives but will be limited by the usb3 speed. Sata III is 6Gb/s usb3 is 5Gb/s.
