    As far as I know, nearly every current notebook today supports SATA II, thus, every current notebook today is capable of supporting a SATA II SSD. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty certain this is the case.

    For 10", most netbooks will take 2.5" sataII SSDs but many will only run up to sataI speeds. Most fullsized notebooks take 2.5"sataII SSD, and most will run at full sataII speeds, but some (like my lenovo t61) are capped at SATAI speeds. Just gotta check the specs and forums and such.
