With these specifications, it worked really well and really fast for my  ASRock H170A-X1 home motherboard. When I found these specifications of the SATA III ports fit my motherboard. This HP S700 SSD was a great find for me to use for my home motherboard. I recommend you get it too, I got mine from Coleton’s Computer Parts distribution company. The final price for it was $69.99 as seen on Newegg.
