Hi Everyone I've gone to some trouble to analyse best data transfer rates. I'm building my new Gaming pc with an ASUs P8P67 Pro m/b. I have 2 x 60GB Force GT SSD's going RAID0 into the Intel SATA6G_1/2[gray] ports. No hesitation there as I know Intel is faster than Marvell. These hard drives will hold my OS.
I will also be getting
1 x standard FORCE 120GB SATA 3.0 for running additional applications for the OS, such as Office 2010 etc.
1x 3TB SATA 3.0 Seagate Harddrive, (at least a very fast one) for media.
1 x ASUS BluRay drive.
(Effectively all my components will be SATA 3.0 (6gbs))
I will effectively have 8 SATA connections on my motherboard.
Intel SATA6G_1/2[gray]
Intel SATA3G_3-6[blue] and
Marvell SATA6G_E1/E2 [navy blue]
My Questions is how should I connect my 120GB SSD and 3TB and BluRay drives on the remaining Intel SATA3G_3-6[blue] and Marvell SATA6G_E1/E2 [navy blue] ports?
If I connected my single 120GB SSD into the Marvell port for my additional OS applications will it be faster than connecting it to the Intel 3G ports? As in the m/b manual it states: "Marvell SATA6G_E1/E2 [navy blue] connectors are for data drives only!"
Does that mean I can't connect my 120GB SSD (for OS applications) to Marvel ports?
Because I was intending I could both my 120GB SSD and 3TB Seagate to both Marvells so that when I want to copy something from the SSD to the Seagate I could get a 6Gbs connection!
I need help my brothers!
