Hiya Folks,
I'm running Seagate NAS drives (ST3000VN000) on an MSI E350IA-E44 motherboard both of which support SATA3 however under FreeNAS they end up negotiating to SATA2. What is the reason for this and how can I get them to be recognized at the full SATA3 speeds? The ports are set to AHCI in the BIOS and there are no jumpers on the drives.
Thanks very much!
