I am having problems with my new laptop supporting SATA speeds of 6Gb/s. Any drive attached will only connect at 3Gb/s. Even if the drive has support for 6Gb/s. Speed issue is occurring in both Windows and Linux. So I don't see a driver issue. The interface is supposed to support 6Gb/s but I am not seeing it.

Motherboard- Acer EA41_BM Insyde Bios v1.12
8 GB RAM
Intel Valleyview SoC - SATA AHCI Controller [C0]

Thanks for the advice but the problem exists even if only one drive is connected. Currently 2 drives are connected and both support 6 Gb/s but I am only seeing 3 Gb/s.
