Laptops that support 6Gbps (for SSD speeds)

Guest2 · 19 Feb 2012 at 19:15

I am looking into buying a laptop and was thinking of a Dell XPS 15. I have just found out that whilst this is one of the latest laptops, the Intel® HM67 motherboard it has only supports 3Gbps instead of 6

The Crucial M4 I have just bought would go to waste on it.

What laptops are out there that supports the latest SSDs?

Ignore, it looks like the HM67 does support SATA3 - http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/mainstream-chipsets/mobile-chipset-hm67.html

My Dell Vostro 3350 does, but only on the original hard disk slot port. The DVD bay is slower.

So SSD in the main bay and a hard disk to replace the optical drive, if you don't need it.

i would have thought most laptos support sata 3 now.

my lenovo x220 does on the main drive (7mm only), but the mSATA drive is SATA2.
