I recently purchased a 600G Raptor and installed it with 3 500G Raptors in a Raid 0, but the Raid bios reports the new drive as SATA 2(3Gbs (the 3 500s show correctly as 6Gbs))).
I was searching the old threads and found a postwhere a bios update was needed (3 years ago on a differant drive)
I have tried switching the connecters with one of the 6Gb drives, with the only differance the 600 moved to a differant position in the array, but still 3Gbs.
I have the drives on SATA ports 0-3, I belive their part of the 990 chipset. The board is a version 1, Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7, I belive the Raid controller is 3.1, OS Windows 7-64bit and AMD FX6300 CPU
Tried without the 500s conected, and it still shows 3Gbs in the Raid bios menu.
I Honestly can’t notice a differance, it’s just Knowing it…, I let Windows run it’s “Performance Test” and it still gives me 6.3 on the disk test.
I Doubt it would be as Simple as a bios flash, but, that would be nice…
