Is this mSata the Sata 3 revision (6gb/s)?

It's gonna be a little slower that sata3 but still fast, works pretty good on mine laptop.

Yes it will work fine. I like the way it's answered on this page: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19253643.aspx Keep in mind that when the person asking says 3gb drive he means sata 3.

Just like everyone else is saying. Make sure you're comp is SATA III and you can find that out by lookin on your Motherboard, or the box it came with or an internet search

Unfortunately non-software that I have can test it and the hardware itself does not seems to be different physically but I will recommend it as it works good for burning at 6x and the time was 16 min as expected for this device class and if an optical go up from 16x then you maybe need SATA3 but currently it seems does not applies [16 576 Mbit/s 72 MB/s] because SATA 2 3Gb/s is good up to ~ 290MB/s read and write vs. 6Gb/s is good up to ~ 600mb/s read / write.

It should work. Most Sata 3 will be backward compatible with sata2, which runs only 3G/s not 6G/s.

I'm looking at the back cover of mine here, and it says "No sacrifice on the mSATA performance", "Fully compatible with Sata 2.6", "Supports ATA/ATAP-7 specification" and "Supports dual power voltages: 1.8 and 3.3V" ... sooo I'm not sure if that helps... but it's something! There is no signal converter chip on this device... just a power supply or rectifier. It's pretty much just 1 to 1 pass thru on the pinouts of the mSata format to the Sata connector, so it should run at 6Gb/s.

I dont think so, its not an msata interface, its a mini pcie instead. You can find more info on manufacturer's site.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards.Hope this helps

It has 2 x 6Gbps SATA, 4 x 3Gbps.2 x PCIe 3.0 x161 x PCIe 3.0 x82 x PCIe 2.0 x11 x PCII think that's it.

I'm running it on a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R mainboard. This week I attached a 250Gb EVO ssd to the IO Crest and the Samsung Magician software is reporting it as a SATA 3 (6Gb/s) interface. My drive benchmarks at 428 (sequential read), 57935 iops (random) and 402 (sequential write), 24716 iops (random), now well below the 540 / 520 max indicated. The drive has slightly better than 50% freespace.

it's just a spec:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA#SATA_revision_3.0_-_6_Gbit.2Fs_-_600_MB.2Fsread on...

It should work fine, though I haven't used that brand drive myself. It's the correct type (SATA III).

No, this adapter is just the opposite of what you need. This will adapt a mSATA drive to a full SATA slot.

Recently bought this and yes, its a sata III USB 3.0, backwards compatible with sata I and II and transfer rate for 3.0 is about 5gb as for 2.0 it will do 480mb

Yes, any SATA drive will work. If you want a detailed list of the tested drives go to the MSI website and look for the MoBo model. You can check at tested compatible CPUs, Memory, HDD, etc

SATA3 drives are backwards compatible with SATA1. It's merely a bandwidth upgrade that you won't be able to take advantage of. So you should be alright with this drive though you might lose a bit of performance in the read speed in some instances.

Yes, the mSATA SSD is SATA III. Regarding the brand, it could be A-DATA or other 1st tier brand.In MSI website they doesn't release such information.
