Internal SATA connection only works on SATA2

Became slow after adding Samsung 870 EVO. Samsung Magician confirmed that the SSD only runs on sata2, although sata3 is shown as available while the internal drive runs on sata3. I can't get a decent answer from support other than that it's backwards compatible with SATA2/SATA1. It also suffers from severe interference on 2.4G WiFi when USB 3 devices are connected and frequently drops the remote connection. I've had this for several months. and really want to like it as it has the right form factor and has enough power for my needs. However, I need more memory running as fast as possible and depending on the support level it's not clear if this is possible.

Pros
  • Larger storage expansion
Cons
  • Nothing here
