I have a Corsair Force 3 SSD attached to an Areca 1880ix-12 that I don't know how to configure to use SATA3. The controller reports 'SATA600+NCQ' as operating mode, but dmesg shows: da3 at arcmsr0 bus 0 scbus0 target 2 lun 0 da3: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-5 device da3: 166.666MB/s transfers (83.333MHz DT, offset 32, 16bit) da3: Command Queueing enabled da3: 228936MB (468862128 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 29185C) bonnie++ confirms that max speed, which would be the equivalent of SATA1 I checked /usr/src/sys/dev/arcmsr and it contains not only references to LSI2108, the chip used in this card, but also this: ** 1.20.00.17 07/15/2010 Ching Huang Added support ARC1880 I tried searching the lists and online for more information, but wasn't able to find anything. So my question is - how does one go about making this drive work at native speed? Or is SATA3 somehow not yet supported for this card? I'm running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #0: Tue Jul 19 22:38:32 EEST 2011 Regards, -- Theo
