Are these sata 3.0? Wanted to maybe connect this to a ssd.

Hey gopheer, I believe all SATA cables are the same. Some of the new ones just have clips on them to keep them more secure. These don't have clips but they work just fine on my SATA III 6gb/sec. It should work fine for any SATA SSD. I don't personally have a SSD but I do use RAID-0 with SATA III.

Package says they have peak transfer rate of 150MB or 1.5 gigabits with 7pin interface....
1629098
sata cables are all the same.. it depends on your motherboard ... so yes.. if your m.b. supports it
1629099
No. I believe cables with that spec have a built-in clip. Devices would be backwards compatible so as to work fine with them, though.

if the package says they have a 1.5 ghz transfer rate, then you will NOT get the 6gps of SATA 3. These will still work, you just wont get 100% performance out of them.
1629101
Its not the cable that determines that. Its the mainboard controller itself. So if your motherboard and ssd are. Then yes. They are.

All sata cables should work for any protocol. http://youtu.be/CAevDkRvyok also http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/your_sata_cable_slowing_down_your_data_transfers_max_pc_investigates

Unless the drives don't conform to standard 3.5mm HDD sizes, they should be fine. Realistically, you're more likely to be limited by the motherboard, sata controller, or OS than you are by the case.

Potentially, yes, but maybe not. Depends on a few things including your BIOS. I have an older motherboard (nVidia 750i) and my mobo did NOT recognize this drive. From what I've read, I believe your bios needs to have AHCI capability to recognize this drive. From a SATA standpoint it should be entirely backwards compatible, but do your homework ahead of time just to be sure. Thankfully Amazon is great for returns and I was able to order a Sata II Crucial SSD. Granted, my mobo still didn't recognize the drive, but installing a cheap Sata III add-on card did the trick. Note: The Sata III add-on card still would NOT allow my older motherboard to see the Samsung Evo 840. Potentially, yes, but maybe not. Depends on a few things including your BIOS.

Yes. You may need to get an extra SATA cable but they only cost around $3 a pop

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.

It is not SATA technology. It is PATA or EIDE. I bought this for my older computer that still works great but these drives are no longer available in local stores.

Your motherboard should have come with SATA cables to connect the SSD to it. You should not need anything else.
233088
It is but you won't be able to use the 6gb sata port because it will cover it up. This will only be a problem if you want to use an ssd for your system drive because ssd's should only be used on a 6gb port.

No it is SATA II judging from my current SSD speeds.I am using it now and wish I knew before purchasing...

nope, your drive should be fine. These used to be shown as being OEM (NOT Retail packaging) shipped drives, but I don't see that now. So, if you were expecting a retail box, then return it; otherwise there are no differences.

Both connectors? You mean the data and power connection? If so, then yes they are both SATA style connections.
726299
The answer is yes. There is a USB connector, but if that does not work you can turn the box upside down and connect with the SATA interface directly.

Hmm... I personally don't know this either (I too would like to know -- in case anyone has tested it out). However, the product picture show the "SERIAL ATA" logo with "1.5Gb/s" below it -- making me believe it is not SATA 3Gb/s or SATA 6Gb/s. I am looking for one that supports 3Gb/s.

All SATA Drives are backward compatible. Go to for a summary: http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8142/~/difference-between-sata-i,-sata-ii-and-sata-iii

They can be used in a desktop but are truly optimized for a NAS environment with a RAID structure and yes, SATA III (6.0Gb/s) is backwards compatible with SATA II (3.0Gb/s). They are optimized for a NAS Environment as they're not very high speed drives, so you might notice latency in a Desktop environment (they're like 5900rpm Green drives).

It should work. Most Sata 3 will be backward compatible with sata2, which runs only 3G/s not 6G/s.

Will this work with a sata drive bay? Does it need to connect directly to a motherboard?
