Hello,
I've never really paid much attention to this, but my WD Caviar Blue 1TB (a SATA III drive) shows capability of UDMA6 in AIDA64, but that UDMA5 is active.
My mobo is asus p8z77-v lk. I tried with 3 different cables for the SATA port and the HDD power, I tried changing the SATA III port (I have two of these) and I even tried switching to SATA 2 port - the result is that the sata3 udma5 is the same by speed as the sata2 udma5, of course. The idea is - how can I switch to udma6 ?
I've seen this problem in other forums, but there was never a solution.
I have the latest BIOS from asus - 1402 and the latest intel chipset from the same site, and the latest IME software, still from the asus web site.
And I have no idea what to do.
Once upon a time this was quite fine, when I couldn't feel any slowdowns, now it's kinda too much, and Crysis 3 became unplayable, and it always was playable.
I get these slowdowns every 10/15 seconds, more like freezes for 1 sec or less, but not just an fps drop or micro stutter (I don't get these), it's a freeze literally, and then the game continues.
The drive is set @ AHCI from the BIOS, and that's the only option available, actually.
Any ideas ?
