Yes. I've even swapped cables and SATA port between the good SSD that runs at 250MBytes/sec and this one. Same results and the other SSD still ran at its 250MBytes/sec on the cable and port the mis-behaving SSD was on. -wolfgang -- g+: https://plus.google.com/114566345864337108516/about -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
