How to figure out SATA version?

[JakubK]

Hello everyone,

How do I find out what version of SATA is supported in my notebook (ASUS F3Eseries, Vista 32bit)? I tried to look into the manual, had a look at some forums but didnt find much of results. Id like to upgrade my notebook by installing new HDD and Im deciding whether to buy regular HDD of higher SATA version than the current one or SSD disc.

Thanks for your advice.

SATA drives and controllers are downward compatible so you don't need to worry about that. Besides, computers built for the lest 5 years or more already use SATA revision 3 so you can't go wrong if you get a SATA rev. 3 drive.
