Rouxdoudoux Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'd like to know if t's possible to bypass the Sata 2 limitation on the mSATA port of this laptop as my mSATA drive is a SATA3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewek1988 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I suspect that this is impossible because it's a hardware limitation, it is better to buy a 2.5-inch SSD drive, then it will work as a SATA III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouxdoudoux Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 The problem is I have 2 x SATA 750GB in RAID0 and my OS drive is a mSATA Crucial M4 SATA III 128GB but I only gety SATA II speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabihabie Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I got the sameproblem with the msata 3, but you dont mind it, only the transferrates are slower than sata 6g.The access time is the same like on the Sata 6GB ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chieflongpole Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I bought an msata also and planned on just putting the os on it but then it hit me the hm77 can only have 2x 6g and was a mild blow..newegg shipment of the msata got lost so I just put operating on my raid0..i would bet im not sure tho that only the 2 ports for the 2.5 hds are capable of sata3 and the msata and the dvd port is sata 2 ...I don't know what use I have of the msata maybe ill install windows on it just to see if it will do sata3....the 2 samsungs in raid zero are nice only regret is I didn't get 2x 240 or 256.. heres a vid of my system booting icouldnt find cams usb so used my camera I know it sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
