Need information on Asus X555LN-XO130H i7-4510U

Hi guys,

I bought the Asus X555LN-XO130H i7-4510U some time ago and now I'd like to upgrade it with an SSD since the HDD is so slow (i already checked on fragmentation, etc.).

Anyways, my question is pretty simple: Does the notebook use a sata 2 or sata 3 interface?

I already tried to figure it out myself but couldn't find the answer on the internet and contacted Asus support. Asus support neither told me what interface the notebook uses nor how many 2,5" slots it has. The only information I got was that the HDD inside the notebook uses a sata 3 interface, which didnt help me either, since you can use a sata 3 drive with a sata 2 mainboard interface and the HDD obviously doesn't even get close to the sata 2 speed limitations.

Many thanks,

Considering how modern it is, it would most likely be SATA 3. It is rare to see SATA 2 on a modern motherboard now, especially ones with USB 3 on them.

Turns out I was logged into the wrong account.

Threw my old ssd in the notebook and got a shiny new one for my main pc.

The notebook clearly uses a sata 3 inferface.

Thanks again
