Hi,
I have a laptop, which has an Intel 82801GB/GYM (ICH7-M Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller. I would like to install either a Intel 530 or 335 Series SSD to my laptop. I would like to know whether either of these drives, i.e. 530 or 335 Series SSD, are supported by this Serial ATA Storage Controller? I am partial to Intel 530 Series SSD, but if compatibility issues are known then I can go with 335 Series SSD to. The main purpose of this is to extend the usable life of my laptop for a few more years.
My choice of OS is going to be Linux Debian 7.x Wheezy.
Any clarifications on this regard would be appreciated.

Hello, the best recommendation is always to check with the system manufacturer for a list of validated SSD models since the compatibility depends on their implementation of the chipset and BIOS.
