SSD advice - ***RESOLVED***

Kinda doubling on from my i3 to i5 thread,

Going to upgrade my LT's HD to an SSD
so just a couple of questions on specs.

So my existing drive is
Toshiba MK6465GSX - hard drive - 640 GB - SATA-300 Series
(linky here)https://www.cnet.com/products/toshib...-series/specs/

Interested in
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5" 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (SSD)
(linky) http://www.canadacomputers.com/produ...item_id=080111

The only thing I'm not sure about is the Interface
My one is listed as SATA 3 GB/s and the samsung at 6 Gb/s
is that ok ?

The SSD is also listed as SATA III

Should it just straight swap out?
The Samsung apparently comes with some cloning software

Also my LT has a SATA connector next to the USB?
Will that power the SSD when I'm cloning it, I do have a couple
of drive enclosures I could use?

Thanks again
