[QUOTE="tymixx, post: 1627632, member: 310066"] Merry Christmas all, I had a Mac desktop dual-quad cord that reports "mid 2010". I believe it's time to start replacing disk drives. Question is, what type of drive should I get as there are many types of SATAs out there. Where it says "AHCI Version 1.20 Supported" does that mean I'm only SATA I disks? Thank you - ty Here's what my system report says about the SATA interface Intel ICH10 AHCI: Vendor: Intel Product: ICH10 AHCI Link Speed: 3 Gigabit Negotiated Link Speed: 1.5 Gigabit Physical Interconnect: SATA Description: AHCI Version 1.20 Supported HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH61N: Model: HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH61N Revision: PA03 Serial Number: K16B3P22253 Native Command Queuing: No Detachable Drive: No Power Off: No Async Notification: Yes Bay Name: Upper [/QUOTE]
