Hi,
I recently bought an Intel 520 SSD, 480GB,
and installed it easily on a 2010 MacBook Pro 13".
Unfortunately the drive doesn't reach it's designated speed – it is performing on a only at SATA1 speed, instead of SATA2 that this Macbook supports.
At the moment it says link speed is 3GBit/sec but Negotiation speed is only 1.5GBit/sec (this MacBook has a MCP89 SATA controller).
I tried resetting the SMC on the Mac but it didn't solve the problem.
in addition, EFI and SMC are updated to the latest revision on this macbook model.
is there a solution to this??
Isn't the SSD drive compatible with the mac? Doesn't it have backward compatibility to SATA2 speed?
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
Daniel.
