It could be due to a motherboard limitation, as far as I'm concerned both of those laptops are limited to SATA II speeds and the ones that can run them at 500 read and write must be SATA III.
yea the original M17X R1 was not the fastest being its a core2duowhich is actually 2009 release .. its limited.. the M14X is a totally different class and had the newer chipset thats supports sata 3 and has newer cpu i5/i7 ect depending on model ...
i had 1 ssd on my M17X R2 my seagate 7200 rpm drive was faster, but in my desktop ( faster cpu faster ram faster period) it was better
internet specs are what its possible of doing but hardware is aways limitation cant always go by what u see unless you have 100% same hardware for rest of system.
