hard drivessd
I have a Toshiba Satelite L50-B-1LN, and I want to upgrade the hard drive to a SSD. However, I do not know what type of SSD to buy. I need to know if my laptop uses SATA 2, SATA 3, IDE, etc. How do I find out?
Edit:
Here is a picture of the HDD and port. Can anybody confirm if this is SATA?
If you can live without an optical drive in your new machine then you can get an adapter to allow you to put a SATA drive in the optical bay, replacing the optical drive there.
Your solution here is to measure the power. I can see two ways to achieve that.
Once you have voltage in Volts and current in Amps just multiply the two numbers together to get power in Watts.

Open device manager, expand disk drive, you can see the model of your hard drive and the type of connection, for sure write down the model and search on google the hard drive model specification, you will find whether the original hard drive is IDE, SATA, SATA 2 or SATA 3 from the specification of the original hard drive.
