My question on Nutmeg-P motherboard is about transfer of data by SATA cable. The present drive is Mushkin 512GB Eco2. Write is 239 MBytes/sec., Read is 250 MBytes/sec. running Crystal Disk Mark 6.0. So before I purchase a new Western Digital Blue 500GB SSD from NewEgg.com. In order to prove that Nutmeg-P motherboard can transfer SATA/600. I'm asking in advance. Do you have hard data that it can not support SATA/600? I'll use ATTO Disk Benchmark has my treasure chest.

Hi:

The only suggestion I can offer, would be to run this free utility I zipped up and attached below to check the sata speed.

Close out of the summary window.

On the left side of the program window, click on the Drives section.

Click on the (S)ATA/ATAPI drives and click on your HDD.

Then on the right side of the program window, the first report will show you the hard drive transfer speed and the controller transfer speed.

For example, my report shows Serial ATA 6Gb/s @ 6Gb/s

Hello Paul_Tikkanen

It states for the desktop Serial ATA 6GB/s @ 3GB/s. To my understanding, its at 3GB/s because of the device?

Hi:

What the report is indicating is that you have a SATA III (6.0 Gb/S) hard drive running at the SATA II (3.0 Gb/S) speed, which is the maximum speed of the hard drive controller.

I'm pretty surprised by that.  I thought most PC's made since 2012 had SATA III (6.0 Gb/S) drive controllers.

So any SATA 6.0 drive you put in there is only going to run at the SATA 3.0 transfer speed.

This desktop had two bios updates so far. Bought the it with 80.14, about 9 month later 0A.10. After the Google bombshell Spectre & Meltdown its at 0A.14. Only the Super Geeks at Palo Alto would know if the update is it. This is a image of the results from ATTO software. I have from GRC ( Gilson Research Center ) a small program called Inspectre.exe. I have the protection from the bombshell turn off. And there is no improvement on the transfer data. The deaktop isn't running slower anymore. So I'll put the new SSD on my wish list. Look for a manufacture refurblish Nutmeg-P motherboard with bios 80.14.
