X-79 Failed defector!

[themisses]

I cannot get USB 3 going and have ordered a compatible USB 3 PCI card, have audio working built in and USB.

My hard drive speed seems slow in Black magic, 280 write and about 375 read on a Samsung 250 GB PRO SSD.Anyone have any advice? I am also thinking of fitting another(windows on one) M.2 PCIe name drive, can this be done? Many thanks in advance for any advice.

For your USB3 build in you can try this kext ( GenericUSBXHCI.kext.zip ) . It work with my Asus P9X79.


For your SSD, are you sure you are using the SATA3?
For your mother, the SATA seems like that:
Intel® X79 chipset :
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), black
4 x SATA 3Gb/s port(s), black,
Support Raid 0, 1, 5, 10
Marvell® PCIe 9230 controller :
4 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), dark brown
ASMedia® ASM1061 controller :
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), dark brown
2 x Power eSATA 6Gb/s port(s), green,

Use the good one...

The black do you mean?

The black port from de x79 chipset I think ( the SATA 6Gb/s ).

On my previous hackintosh I only had SATA 3Gb/s. I had this speeds with my SSD ( Samsung 840 Pro 128Gb ). The same SSD on my new hack and my spec are higher ( +/- 500Mb/s if I remember well ).
