    Someone asked in an earlier thread if the DV9xxx hard drive was SATA I or SATA II and a reply from a member said SATA I but when HP replaced my failed hard disk, the email I received gave some technical data that seems to contradict that.

    Replacement Model number:
    451863-001 , 200GB SATA II 3Gb/s hard disk drive - 4,200 RPM, 2.5-inch form factor, 9 .5MM thick - With mounting bracket

    The drive might be SATA II, and who knows -- maybe they changed something in the mainboard that makes it SATA-II compliant... But if you have a dv9000 series with the typical motherboard they would put in it, then, that would be a regular SATA, but an SATA-II drive would still work on it, just at the lower SATA standard.

    motherboard only supports SATA I so your SATA II drive will only run at that speed

    I have a dv9417 and there's an option in the device manager to enable Native Command Queuing. NCQ is only available on SATA 2. I suspect the mb supports SATA 2.
