Description
Maybe there is no problem, but my Intel SSD DC S3500 is detected by smartctl as a SATA 2.6 compliant SSD.
The PDF specification says it's a SATA 3.0 SSD, so I don't know who is actually right.
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/ssd-dc-s3500-spec.html
Does anyone can confirm smartctl is right or not?
I plugged the SSD in 2 different computers (chipset Intel B150 and B85).

There is possibly no problem. Smartctl prints the SATA level the drive reports in word 222 of the ATA IDENTIFY data.
Please provide output of smartctl --identify ... as an attachment.

Smartctl prints the SATA version from IDENTIFY word 222 correctly. Only SATA 2.6 is printed because bit 5 is not set:
Word Bit Value Description ... 222 - 0x101f Transport major version number 222 15:12 0x1 Transport: 0x0 = Parallel, 0x1 = Serial, 0xe = PCIe 222 4 1 Reserved | SATA 2.6 222 3 1 Reserved | SATA 2.5 222 2 1 Reserved | SATA II: Extensions 222 1 1 ATA/ATAPI-7 | SATA 1.0a 222 0 1 ATA8-APT | ATA8-AST
The same value for word 222 is listed in page 34 of the PDF specification. Page 1 reports "SATA Revision 3.0" which would require 0x103f.
You may want to report this mismatch in Intel SSD Forum.
