does x220 support sata 3.0? [ Edited ]

[bangsta]

Spec: x220, i7, 8GB, 320GB 7200.

i would like to replace the 320GB HDD with a SSD. I would like to know if x220 motherboard supports SATA v3.0. That is if I buy a SSD with 500+MB/s read/write speed then can i achieve max speed?

As far as i know that the new Sandy Bridge processors should support SATA v3.0

Yes but only with the i7.

The X220 supports SATA III, or SATA 6Gbps regardless of CPU.

@Roger99,
I think you're thinking of USB 3.0, which is indeed only available on the i7 model (unless you add an ExpressCard one).

Yes, you're right. Thanks for the correction.

That will teach me to post when I'm half asleep!
