    Hi there,
    I've just ordered a Samsung 830 SSD (256GB).
    Will it work ok with my G73JH, considered that the ASUS laptop has no SATA 3 capabilities?
    Did you guys try to install and benchmark one?

    Thanks in advance.
    Best,
    EnTiTy

    It will still work, Sata 3 will always backward be compatible with older sata board. It just that the speed u'll achieve maximum would be merely sata 2 speed.
