Product: 8570w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi there, 

Recently added Samsung EVO 860 msata ssd on my HP8570w (on internal msata port) and install Windows OS and boot from it with no problems.

The problem is that my rear/write ssd speed which is around 250 mb and Samsung Magician software says that SATA 3 is available....so how to enable SATA 3 on msata port...

All the drivers are updated to newest versions...
BIOS is also updated and SATA speed is on 6gb/s in bios...

You have done all there is to do. Are you sure the mSATA mSSD is not operating at SATA 3 speed?

I will take your word. Not uncommon for ancillary ports to be a lesser SATA level such as the optical drive port and the mSATA. 

When the laptop was made mSATA mSSDs were not as fast as the Evo 860. Does something like Sysoft Sandra or speccy say the mSATA port is capable of SATA-III transfer?

Even though the controller chip WOULD support SATA-III; only SATA-II is implemented on this motherboard.
