    Hi there,
    I've been using the above mentioned laptop for a couple of days and decided to buy and install a 840 evo in it today, but after everything is done the software says that it's not running at SATA 3 which kinda sucks.

    Is there anything that can be done such as updating chipset and / or AHCI drivers. I wiped the OEM installation of Windows 8 and did a clean install of 8.1, would this have caused any issues?

    I checked HWiNFO and in the motherboard section it says:
    SATA Ports 2 and 3: Supported
    SATA Port 1 6Gb/s: Not Supported
    SATA Port 0 6Gb/s: Supported

    In the drive section:
    Drive controller: Serial ATA 6Gb/s @ 3Gb/s

    Advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks for reading
