    If you disable the DVD drive, and then put the computer to sleep after booted, it comes back from sleep in sata III. That's the only known development at this time AFAIK.

    Thanks for your answer! Does this trick is permanent, or i have to do this at each reboot? What do you mean by "disable the DVD drive", physically, or by bios?

    After a reboot you need again do the sleep-resume trick (which is only a matter of seconds when you "sleep to RAM (S3)" and not hibernation file).
    Disabling via BIOS (the optical device)
    It's assumed that Sony did this SATA-II 'joke' on purpose. SATA-III is only available when you have the proprietary Sony (RAID) SSD (and also never available on the other interface used by optical device).

    Your topic has been handled many times. Please do SEARCH and not create new posts...

    The M4 was maybe one of the devices that seems not accept this trick at all (there are a few mentioned in the thread I added).
