[SOLVED] SSD compatible with old laptop

[JonCondiff]

I have a Compaq Probook 4540s that needs its drive upgraded. I have a SSD that I know is compatible. but my father not wanting to spend that much found this SSD and I can't find if it's compatible with my laptop or not. anyone know if it is?
specs of current HD:
approx 750GB

Both are SATA drives. SATA is SATA, it should work, u just have to make sure the thickness is the same or thinner.

the laptop is from 2012 so its possible that the bios may not support the other one

and just now found out it uses SATA 2

That will limit your speed to 3G/s. well at least will be quieter and lighter.
