I have a 2009 13" MBP and have just set up my first Fusion Drive in it. However, I am running into a problem that has my SATA speed negotiated to 1.5 gbps. I have a Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB in there. I know this isn't one of the recommended SSDs but I'm not about to go return it as I bought it while in the states.
Apparently this issue is due to the Sandforce controller version 2281 not playing nice with the Nvidia chipset.
The funny thing is, I am getting a 3gbps negotiated speed on my old 500GB drive in the optibay. What I'm thinking is if I swap the drives, maybe it will negotiate 3gbps for the SSD in the optibay.
My question: can I just swap the drives even though I already have the Fusion set up or do I need to do a complete recreation of the Fusion Drive with the drives in their new positions.
Thanks in advance for the help!
