<br>
Using a SATA2 3Gb/s cable on a 6G port and 6G drive results in 6G<br>
speed selected (with modern 2 year-old Intel ICH anyhow). Yikes!<br>

root@sysresccd /root % smartctl -a /dev/sda |grep -i sata<br>
SATA Version is: SATA 3.1, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 6.0 Gb/s)<br>

As for spurious corrupted data on the wrong cable, my tests so far have<br>
been inconclusive (and a bit bewildering). It would seem dying SSDs<br>
can spit back wonky data even when they aren't reading the sector that<br>
is damaged!<br>
