    I just bought a new Sony Vaio S Series SVS15118FXB, I put a SATA3 SSD, but this one runs to 3GB / s.

    Why?

    I can run the disc to 6GB / s?

    It also doesn't make any difference whatsoever in normal use, but if you care disable ODD in BIOS and put it to sleep and wake it up, tadaaaaa, SATA3.

    It's stupid but at least it isn't a "real" issue.

    thank you very much
    Actually when reading and writing speeds faster the difference is very noticeable when you transfer large files etc ...

    In short,
    As desabilito ODD if obciones not in my bios?
    Is there any unblok for this bios?

    1- Disable ODD (optical disk drive) in BIOS.
    2- Log into Windows
    3- Put computer to sleep
    4- Wake it up

    It'll have effect until you reboot or power off the computer.

    A bug (unforseen situation) in Sony's firmware SATA3 blocking code? :)

    Why the hell did you make a new thread about this when there is one already?
    You clearly had found the thread before you created this one since you did posts in it before you made this thread.....

    All you want to know about this issue is in that thread.
    And lets keep it in that thread instead of having the same discussion in multiple threads.

    I have my Z2 running RAID 0 at SATA3 and SVS13 running at SATA2.
    There is no real difference in almost tasks. What you can see the difference is benchmark.
    Are you going to transfer files all the time?
    You gave up your ODD, but you get nothing except some numbers.
