    No probs. I did a bit of googling myself before I posted in the forum...

    It's European (Dutch, to be exact). It's one of the customizable machines, made to order. But the European support page for this model only lists drivers; no Bios update (yet).

    Is anyone with crucial m4 getting SATA3 speeds by disabling optical drive and sleep/wake? Or does that just not work with the m4...?

    Does not work with my M4 as well. Interesting.

    Has anyone noticed that Sony released a new Sata driver version? I'm about to test it. Maybe sata3 will work now?

    I suspect it is a BIOS (UEFI) thing, not a driver issue.
    But if its the driver... why I wouldn't be surprised that it would contain a SATA-3 fix but different as we think... That this fix would 'repair' the sleep-resume loophole so it remains SATA-2

    Why I say this?
    Because Sony has already once issued a BIOS fix that did remove the SATA-3 capability for 3rd party HDD/SSD.

    Isn't the easiest way to check this is to format the Vaio completely and test the SATA speeds without any drivers installed? or has someone already done this? (I'm sure someone has; I'm just too lazy to go thru all these pages >_<) Can someone update the OP for updates/more info as we go along? That would be helpful ^_^

    Has anyone tried to see if this is possible with an 2nd HDD in the ODD bay enabled?

    Cheers

    It seems that the most important parameters - Access time and 4K speed are no different between Sata 2 and Sata 3. Then it must be difficult to point out the difference when using them.

    Intel SSD 330 could achieve 6Gbps mode with ODD disable/sleep&wake (from Japanese forum)
