SSD Upgrade, Sata Speed

So as i asked earlier, my hdd is failing, and a thunderbolt enclousure is not an option at all…so well i decided to change the internal hdd for a ssd ( and also change thermal paste to Kyronaut Extreme, and clean the fan) but there is a problem, looking at the specifications (i use bootcamp only because college software is exclusive to windows) of the hdd, its says that is connected to a sata 2 port ( or limited to sata 2 speeds)

Its because of the hdd is limited to Sata 2 speed or because the bandwidth is shared with the Propietary-PcieBlade?

If i install a sata 3 ssd will it use the full speed (600mb/s)? or there is a physical limitation on the speed because of the motherboard or something?

Update

I Installed a SATA Crucial SSD ( a pretty cheap one actually ) and it works perfectly! SATA 3 Speeds!

(Just and extra if someone wanted to give a look to an iMac late 2013 21,5 with Nvidia GPU, because usually the reference model with igpu is used)

It appears someone replaced your HDD at some point with an old SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) laptop drive! The original HDD this system had was a SATA III (6.0 Gb/s)

So as long as you put in a SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) SSD it will interface with the system at the higher data rate. Make sure you review the given drives spec sheet.

FYI - This explains your current problem as the Fusion drive set was not designed to work with the older SATA II HDD’s as its not fast enough!

i bought the machine brand new from retail and it came with the normal box w/ all the stuff, no cardboard box or anything to say that it was Refurbished, so unless the retail itself repaired, i dont see other way to that to happen

@mgbassdat - Are you sure you have ID'd the correct model here??

Double check plug in your systems S/N here EveryMac - Lookup

Your systems drive interface options are:

> 1 - SATA III (6.0 Gb/s)

> 1 - 5.0 GT/s PCIe x2 AHCI (original blade drive) or 3rd party NVMe

Pretty sure about it, using the S/N i get this identifier, Identifiers: Late 2013 - ME087LL/A

@mgbassdat - Somehow you got a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) HDD put inside if your report is correct. But does it really matter? You are replacing it to a SSD correct??

door

@danj yeah, but my concern its that if i put a SSD there, it will get also limited to SATA II
