Does the SL410 have SATA II/3.0 Gbps?

I'm upgrading to SSD for my SL410 (2842-FBU, bought from Best Buy in 1/10) and when I pulled out the original hard drive I see there's a factory sticker indicating the drive is SATA I/1.5 Gbps. But when I look up the model number of the hard drive itself (Fujitsu MJA2500BH-G2) it say its SATA II/3.0 Gbps. Needless to say I'm now confused. Is the laptop's controller SATA I or SATA II?

Not sure what specs the controller have. With that said buy a sata III ssd. They are backward compatible and can be re-purposed in another machine when the time comes to get a new laptop. Doing just that in my L412. Working fine.

I did get a SATA III SSD and the controller is SATA II (I'm getting 250+ MBps sequential read & write).
