E-Chris Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I've got a Samsung 850 Evo SSD that is connected to a Sata III port. If I look in system information I can see that the Intel 8 series sata III port shows that it's 6GB/s capable, but my SSD shows that it's running as 3GB/s instead. Does anyone know what this might be the case? I'd like to get it running at full speed. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Chris Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Yeah I'm only getting around 250MB/s with a drive that should do closer to 500MB/s. Bios is set in AHCI mode. Were would I find a undated chipset kext? I believe I'm running the vanilla kext included in the OS (10.10.4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vusun123 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 With the specs of your rig in your signature ? Can you bench your SSD in Windows ? Some OEMs e.g Sony make Ivy Bridge laptops with SATA 3 capable but decide to connect it to SATA 2 port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
