Motherboards xps 720 upgrade help

crucial provide the following list http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Dell/xps-720#ssdResults

so are the cheaper ones for around £70-80 worth it? will i notice difference?

 

Any SSD will be a huge improvement over your current setup even being limited by SATAII speeds

 

Yeah for sure this.

OP to answer your question - yes they made SATA 2 SSDs. However, many of them were incapable of even maxing out a SATA 2 socket. If you go SATA 3 you may even find they are faster than most of the older SATA 2 drives.

As I said I have one in a really old board (it was released in 2008 !) and it makes boot time fly, even on SATA 2.

 

which one shall i purchase?

 

will this work on xps720, it does not say sats II compatible? http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-upgrades/internal-data-storage/samsung-850-pro-2-5-internal-ssd-128-gb-10109340-pdt.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiA-4i0BRCaudDcrrnDi6kBEiQAZSh5f6gkmcp_Q15ra34Js4X4UCl67YVP6ca4lxhvQZBMC3QaAsjE8P8HAQ&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~~~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&s_kwcid=AL!3391!3!74833768219!!!g!110897149460!&ef_id=Vl2TwgAAATNGzmH-:20151229164159:s

 

SATA is SATA. All 3 iterations should work without issue on your board. The Samsung one you linked is a great drive and should work without a problem.

 

thanks

 

I still have this machine. Problem I have now is dell not made win 10 drivers so my raid 0 configuration cannot be seen for some weird reason. I use to be able to see it in win 10 but not anymore. Any ideas?


Machine runs fine in win 7.
