Did you tell that to Apple and Nvidia? So you expect to connect a SATA III SSD to a USB 2.0 port and have it run at SATA III speeds?

 

When you find a SSD that operates as you have decided it must, let us know…

 


Are u stupid or what? If i use a sate3 disk in a sata2 controller i expect that it goes as a sata2 disk, not 1.5 or less with random freeze…

And tell us: why ocz, samsung and owc work perfectly with nvidia chip in mac? Why no one from sandisk says a word in this thread about this problem?

If you’re happy to give money for defected product in return…

OCZ and Samsung SATA III SSDs work fine at SATA II speeds on the Nvidia chipset? In your dreams!

OWC may have applied the firmware work around to fool the Nvidia driver into staying a SATA II speeds, since they aim at the Mac market, but I don’t follow their products.

Yes I agree, I would expect a SATA III SSD to work fine with a SATA II controller, and all SATA II controllers do work that way… except for those made by Nvidia, and their terrible drivers. SATA controllers are called that for a reason, they _ control the drives _ they work with, not the other way around.

Oops, I forgot, don’t bother you with technical details and reality.
