[MananKanani]

Not able to attach a screenshot of specs of my laptop
But it has you can actually see image from Laptop Specs Image (uploaded on my site so don't worry)

chipset - Intel Broadwell-U PCH-LP (Base)
Motherboard - Acer ZORO_BH
processor - Intel Core i3-5005U
RAM - 8GB DDR3
1 HDD (SATA 6Gb/s)
Laptop name - ACER-ASPIRE-573

Please help to know that my optical drive connected with SATA 3Gb/s OR SATA 6Gb/s

The SATA power cord should power an SSD just as well as it powers an optical drive.

The SATA power cord that plugs into your DVD+R drive should plug into the SSD.

I will be using Caddy for implementing SSD in place of optical drive so how can i know where it connects to

I want max speed of SSD & get to know on web that if i am putting it into caddy then performance is not as good as replacing internal HDD because internal HDD is SATA 6Gb/s & In most cases optical drives is SATA 3Gb/s

I haven't been able to find any specs confirming or denying this.

Hard to say in a laptop. But generally not going to be any cost savings to implement SATA II in a laptop that new. My guess would be the chipset only has SATA III which is in keeping with all the Haswell/Broadwell chipsets.

Even if the optical drive's port is a SATA II port, what's the harm in throwing in an SSD?
