Hi everybody,
and hopefully you will be able to help me further! ;-)
I recently updated the HDD of my 13" MacBook 2.4 GHz Unibody 'late 2008' to a SSD: a 240 GB Vertex 3. ;-)
But now I realize that although this is a SATA-3 (= 6 Gigabit 'Link speed') enabled SSD which should be downward compatible to SATA-2 (like as to my knowledge my MacBook should support) and therefore negotiate SATA-2 (=3 Gigabit 'Link speed') for data exchange with my Macbook it actually only communicates at SATA-1 (=1.5 Gigabit 'Link speed') level with my MacBook. [see image 1st attachment]
I think my Macbook's EFI / Firmware is up to date. [see image 2nd attachment] - but please correct me if I am wrong.
What can I do to make my Vertex 3 perform at SATA-2 (= 3 Gigabit) speed in my MacBook? Help very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
