I hooked up that pciexpress version 3.0 4xsata3 adapter and unfortunately it will only fit into the version 2.0 pcie slot. It works in the x16(wired 2.0) pcie slot in my dell optiplex9010 but i won't get the 3.0 version speed as i had planned.. I was wondering if anyone knows why it won't boot up from the pcie version 3.0 slot. The 3.0 slot is offset from the other 2.0 slot and the metal adaper support won't reach the chasis mount.I found out or am pretty sure that the adapter is half or @3 mbps. according to a diagnostic app. So how can i get the adapter to work in the other(3.0-pcie x16)adapter?
One other thing...does the brace or metal bracket on the adapter itself act as a ground and prevent it from working if it isn't attached to the chasis?
