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.
Got the 850 EVO 256GB in the end; Samsung tool benchmarks around 280MB (so basically - as this is the first time I got an OS running on a SSD - this feels very very very fast).
There's a "rapid" mode I see, can't get this activated on Win10 though.Thanks again everybody for your help!

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.
