hy my dear friends,

If i have posted in the wrong area please move to the correct area, thanks for understanding.

i have a problem with my laptop Asus X53Z with a motherboard K53Z which has an AMD A68M “Hudson-M3L” chipset that support Sata3 but I've tried 5 different versions of amd_sata drivers and none of them worked.

I have an Samsung 830 ssd 128g sata3 and the laptop it's sees as sata2

so I'm here and I beg your help to mod the bios and to see the correct the sata3 port.

I've made some research myself and my A68M “Hudson-M3L” - Brazos 2.0 support sata3 but in win7-64bits it's working only as sata2.

Down you have a text that I had made a copy from a website:
The AMD A68M
The new AMD chipset A68M “Hudson-M3L” A50M chipset replaces the “Hudson-M1″. Among the new features we are supporting 2 ports SATA-3 (with support for RAID 0/1), Gigabit LAN, 2 USB 3.0 ports and a native SD card reader integrated developments will help reduce the cost of the platform.

Like the chipset A50M, A68M chipset is made from the manufacturing process of TSMC 65nm and has a TDP of 4.7W (0.75W in standby).

I've also attached a photo with wikipedia about A68M “Hudson-M3L” - Brazos 2.0 and more to see

I've asked Asus help and they didn't know what chipset I have or if the laptop support upgrade for cpu(same name cpu); they will not help me, so you are my last hope.

Please any questions that you have or if you want anything that help you to make this right tell me.

I'm almost 100% that the problem is the bios.

I beg you to help me that my laptop to see my ssd how it should be.

Thanks a lot. Warmest regards, Chris
hy again,

what i believe is that the sometimes SATA ports are hardlocked to SATA2 even if the chipset supports SATA3 and bios mode for a unlock can make this work, right?

i do belive and have all my confidence in the people (comunity) here, who are doing a very great thing with the moded bioses.

you have all my respect for doing this; the producers of the bios should hire you, seriously.

i will donate with all my joy for this problem to be solved.

i hope this helps.

cheers
