Yea I understand it will fit (work) if it's SATA, question is if the controller (?) is able to handle the throughput / fast enough - so it would not be a bottleneck and make the endeavour useless.
Sorry if I'm missing a point, I'm not up-to-date on this shit like I used to be..

Oh I get you. Yeah, it might not have the SATA 3 spec which was released in 2009 but at worst, it will be SATA 2 so you should get 300mbps.
Still worth getting an ssd, basically.
I'd go with an 850 evo or pro - the 840 evo has a pretty terrible design flaw that slows old data dramatically. Newer ones seem fine. Samsung still seem to have the best track record regarding firmware, reliability etc. -
The random-access latency of an SSD should give you a noticeable benefit even if you've got a bottleneck at the chipset.

Any SATA drive is compatible, so yea, the Samsung will work. You might need some torx keys to get in there.
