xendrome Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Is that revision 3 actually what that means, it could be rev 3 of the hardware chip, or anything really? I am 100% POSITIVE ICH9M controller doesn't do SATA3 spec, it's from 2008... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillTheIrishman Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 You'll be fine with any SSD that you'd like to purchase as they are backwards compatible and you'll definately notice a difference in speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+PeterUK MVC Posted April 24, 2012 MVC Share Posted April 24, 2012 Likely the hardware rev so you only have 3Gb/s SATA which any SSD you add you still get lots more speed from then a HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
