If I am correct in what I'm seeing this is a 10yr old computer, so yes, it is SATAII Only. I'm not posing again because Dell Forums and it is too much hassle.
Thank you speedstep for posting the facts! Speedstep is very knowledgeable you can trust what he is saying. He is showing you that the chipset is only capable of "3 Gb/s Transfer Rate"
in4matik2 While that standard may have some out in 2009 I have not seen it on many home computers in 2010 and a little beyond. And surely not in many laptops. I can see by the Speccy output that this is true of your computer also. "Max." Represents your SSD. "Used" Represents what your laptop is capable of. I know it's not super clear but I've been reading speccy results for a long time now. SATAIII Being on mostly upper end computers at the time of release, and most likely only business class and servers in 2009-10. That's just a rough guess though because I'm not super familiar with the timeline.
Max. Transfer Mode SATA III 6.0Gb/s Used Transfer Mode SATA II 3.0Gb/s

See what Crystal Disk-Info says, and then see what Crystal Disk-Mark benches it at.
Anything over 300 sequential is using SATA-3/600.

This means your computer is only SATAII but the SSD is SATAIII
Post the exact model of your computer

Profanity, haha That's called criticism, if you can't fix the site then you'd better expect that.

I don't understand why you are mocking
WIKI says: The full 3.0 standard was released on May 27, 2009.
my laptop Dell Vostro 3300 was manufactured in 2010
it is possible that it supports sata III
I really like to give my computers a second life, not throw them away and buy new ones
