Hello everyone,
I have the Asus M2N32-SLI deluxe wireless motherboard (nForce 590),
it has the Silicon Image SiI 3132 SATALink Controller,
when I check Windows Control panel under Silicon Image Sata Controller
it does not list any device info (only Host Link Speed: 3.0 Gb/s and Device Link Speed: 1.5 Gb/s), neither anything in the Flash BIOS tab...
In device manager I's indicated that NVIDIA nForce 590 Serial ATA Controller is set to 3.0Gb/s,
speed test values:
Theretical limit: 300.0
Burst speed: 171.4
Sustained speed: 59.4
HD Tune indicates:
Standard: SATA II
Supported UDMA Mode 6
Active: UDMA Mode 6
so my hard drive isn't being used to it's full potential? or is SATA 3.0 Gb/s such a rip-off (only 170 !) ???
(I've installed latest Asus drivers)
my hard drive is a Seagate ST3500641AS, 16MB buffer, Sata 3.0Gb/s,
I have Windows Xp pro and the x64 version (both same results),
anyone any info?
many thanks in advance,
take care!
Kind regards,
Michael
