kazumotokun Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have installed snow leopard 10.6.2 (by following the guide on lifehacker) on a Gigabyte EP43-DS3l motherboard and everything is running great... except for the DVD drive, a Pioneer DVR-216D. SATA is set to AHCI, and while the hard drives are clearly operating at full speed, the DVD drive won't push past a 1x read/write speed. I have switched the SATA ports around, and even swapped in a Sony Optiarc but the results do not change. I tried the newest ICH10 kext from this forum but it had no effect. 10.5.8 didn't have this issue for me. Could someone please offer me some advice? It would be much appreciated!

Had to set the SATA port to native mode.
