new 240G SSD extreme doesn't work on SATA3 ports

^

so you’re saying that it should work? and that I don’t have to mess around the bios to get it working properly? 

well, the cable does work when using SATA2 ports. I however don’t have a clue if the cable is SATA1, 2, or 3. Is it possible that the harddrive won’t detect simply because I’m using a SATA1 cable?
