Hi

Just recently purchased a Samsung 830 128GB.

My friend told me I had to install with the ACHI enabled, which I have done.

My speeds are as follows:-

Is that normal or am I missing something. I have the SSD plugged into SATA port 3, is this ok?

Is port 3 a SATA3 port? Does your motherboard even have SATA3?

MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3) is my motherboard

Port 3 is SATA 2, you want to connect it to the white ports for SATA 3 speeds.
