2011 iMac SSD speed problem (Optical Bay)

Hi;


I removed the 27-inch 2011 iMac's optical drive and replaced it with an SSD. The system works fine, but I can only use the SSD at 3Gb/s. Apple released an update for MacBook Pro models in 2011, bringing the speed to 6Gb/s. Why did not this update come in for the 2011 iMac models?


2011 model iMac models using Intel 6 series chipset. How to bring the optical "link" speed from 3Gb/s to 6Gb/s with software change?
