SSD for Aspire v3-771G

caterpillar

Hi all,

I want to buy a 250GB SSD for my Aspire v3-771G but i cant fugure out what sata interface does the motherboard have.
Motherboard model is VA70_HC (U3E1), i tryed to search for its specs in internet, but could not find any. I used Speccy and Aida64 to find out
more about motherboard but they dont show me if its sata 2 or 3...

So, what do i have on the motherboard, sata 2 or sata 3? )

Also, can you advise an ssd for the laptop? I have found Crucial ssd:

but i think they dont sell this brand in local shops here.

Thanks for reading this and for your help.

Hi,
You have SATA II (3Gb/s) but others have used a SATA III SSD as well.
