I have installed a 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black on my Asus M2A-VM motherboard along with the older Maxtor 80 GB SATA 3 hard drive and Speccy says the WD is running at 10,000 rpm and only has 16 MB of cache. The unit specced to be 7200 rpm and a 64 MB cache. The motherboard is running this SATA 6 at SATA 3 due to it being an older, non SATA 6 capable board. The WD Caviar Black is my boot disk. Any suggestions?
I have the exact problem only my MB does support 6GB/s. Help Speccy!!! WD1002FAEX
Can you please PM me your .speccy files?
I have 3 Caviar Blacks sata2 drives on my system. Speccy sees the 2 internal drives correctly (7200rpm and 32MB cache)but sees the 3rd drive in an external drive enclosure connected esata as (5400rpm and 2MB cache). All drives are 640g and 2 and 3 are clones of the boot drive.

I'm just wondering if the HDD enclosure might have something to do with this. I had a different HDD (Hitachi) installed in an external USB enclosure and the USB connector broke. I bought a different brand enclosure and noticed that the drive information reported back to Windows was different. It also acted different when I would "Safely Remove Hardware." That was a while ago so I don't remember the exact differences. Speccy wasn't even involved.

LOL Thanks I was in Las Vegas buying a Mixer.
I'm having this same problem with speccy and this drive! I was wondering if this ever got resolved and whether its a problem with speccy not properly recognizing the drive or the drive is actually running at those specs? Thanks for your help.
