[QUOTE="sandbites, post: 1684266, member: 204590"] Hi I have an iMac 2011 27 inch. I'm still using my original 1TB hard drive in the original bay and i successfully replaced the DVD drive with a harddrive-caddy. In the caddy i placed a 1TB Samsung SSD drive. After i did this, i realized that the SATA port for the SSD drive runs only on 3GB/SATA II. 1. is there a way for me to change/configure the DVD's SATA port speed to 3Gig so that i can run my SSD on 6GB speed without having to open the iMac again? 2. If the answer to number 1 is no can i use the SATA cable being used for the SATAII/optical drive for the third and unused SATA port on the mob which i understand really runs on SATA III speed? I don't want to buy another cable. TIA [/QUOTE]
