I just purchased and installed my first SSD. It is the Samsung 850 EVO, which is capable of SATA 3 as you all probably know.
In the process of learning everything all at once, and having to successfully complete it without screwing up, I think I have done a pretty good job in getting it all to work.
However, I did not know up until now about the difference between SATA 2 and 3 speeds.
I currently have the SSD in the secondary drive spot, and the original hard drive in the primary hard drive spot. (There is space for 2 drives in total).
What I need to know is, it seems I am only getting SATA 2 speeds, would swapping the drives give me access to SATA 3 speeds?
Or is my laptop only capable of SATA 2 on both drive spots?
I have searched my motherboard specs, but I can't find anything.
(Motherboard: Toshiba PHRAA)
Any help would be greatly appreciated
