    Hello,

    I am looking for a HD to upgrade my HP 8510p. Does it support SATA II disks?
    I imagine it wouldn't support the new SATA III disks with 6 GB/s, right?

    So I found these disks and wonder if either of them are supported:

    1. NCIX.com - Buy Western Digital Scorpio Black 750GB 2.5IN 7200RPM 16MB SATA3GB/S Notebook Hard Drive - Western Digital WD - WD7500BPKT - in Canada

    2. NCIX.com - Buy Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB 2.5IN SATA 7200RPM 16MB Notebook Hard Drive OEM - Seagate - ST9500420AS - in Canada

    3. NCIX.com - Buy Seagate Constellation.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 2.5IN Internal Hard Drive - Seagate - ST9500620NS - in Canada

    THANKS!
    Simone

    SATA III is backward compatible to SATA II and SATA I.

    "very good. i had t9600 processor and 6.4 all the way down and 5.9 for hhd with overclock. your scores was good too. im sure it is more than my 540m GT"

    i was meant to say i had those wei scores with NO overclock but yes you made it look even better than the default settings. do you still game on it with the latest games.
