    Just curious would it be a waste to put in a SATAII SSD drive onto any laptop only running at SATAI speed ?

    Please kindly advise.

    Depends which SSD you are talking about. There are some SSDs that exceed SATA I bandwith. Like the Intels.

    But it would not be a waste. You'd still have very fast throughput, I/O and acces times. Effectively you won't notice that it was limited unless you use benchmark software.
