Hard drive not running at 6Gb/s
Last response: in Storage
Hello,
I recently bought a western digital 1TB 6 Gb/s hard drive and it shows that it's running at 1.5 Gb/s under Intel Rapid Storage. What can I do to make the hard drive run at max speed?
Thanks![:)]( ":)")

Hard drives can be SATA 6Gb/s compatible, not 6Gb/s capable.No hard drive can spin fast enough to achieve SATA 6Gb/s speeds.
Your drive has a buffer (16MB, or 32MB, or 64MB) which briefly transfers data at 6Gb/ speeds, but that's it.
What the model of your drive?
It's the WD1002FAEX drive. I have it hooked up to a SATA 6Gb/s port.
Best solution
That drive has maximum Read/Write speeds of 126MB/s, which is SATA 1 (1.5Gb/s) speeds.
Here's the link to the spec sheet of your drive: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/287...

Thanks for the info. Is this speed average compared to other similar drives? (Not including those WD drives)
