Re: 14x SATA II, SATA III Benchmark Comparison - BIOS Enabled or Disabled Discussion
Sorry for the noob question, but can understand the SATA port supports SATAIII but with SATAII speed. Can I conclude from this that I should buy a SATAII ssd instead of a SATAIII ssd. Because there won't be a performance difference between the 2?

If you have a SATAII port, a SATAII SSD would be enough, but you can get a SATAIII SSD for future-proofing if you want.

I have tried it, the same story as before. After installing my SSD speeds drop to SATA 3Gbps. So MSAHCI is still the driver I use. Originally Posted by nlovejr

Re: 14x SATA II, SATA III Benchmark Comparison - BIOS Enabled or Disabled Discussion
Noob question, what's the easiest way to check if my SSD is running on SATA 3GB/s speeds or SATA 6GB/s speeds without using benchmarks?
P.S.: Laptop in my sig isn't what I'm talking about.
