Hi guys,
I've finally replaced the pretty crappy hard drive in my G47VW to a Samsung 850 Evo 1Tb. After transferring most of my files over, I realized that Samsung Magician is saying that it's using SATA 1.5, which is not optimal.
I looked for answers both on these forums and the general web, but I've come across two different solutions that I'm not entirely sure may work:
1. In the BIOS, Disable Fastboot + Disable Secure Boot + Enable CSM
2. Uninstall the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver and use the Windows AHCI driver.
From what I've read, the G46VW uses either a SATA 2 or SATA 3 port, but I'm not sure if my model only has a SATA 1 port, there's something sfotware/driver-wsie I can do to fix this.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Do you have 2 hard drive slots? the one that your original hard drive was in should be SATA 3 6GB I don't really remember what the G46 drives set up was but if your only getting SATA 1.5 out of the main hard drive bay you probably have a hardware problem.
