That's a misunderstanding of how things work. The SATA port speed is just an upper-bound on transfer, but has nothing to do with how fast a device can actually read data (similar to having a 1G network card and even Internet service doesn't mean sites will serve data to you at 1G). Traditional spinning hard drives typically do top out in the neighborhood of 150 MB/s... and in fact, the official spec from Seagate for that drive is an average read rate of 156 MB/s. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
