I just bought Gigabyte P67-UD7-B3 and it comes with SATA2 SATA3 and GSATA3. I have 1 SSD, and 1 HDD. I dont know which SATA should i connect them too, i dont wish to make a RAID cuz i think it will slow down the SSD. OCZ Vertex 3 - SATA3 (P67) or GSATA (Marvell 88SE9128) Any suggestions? |

If you're not interested in making a RAID, then I'd suggest considering connecting one drive to the Intel-based SATA3, and the other to a GSATA port. Since the main (only?) difference between SATA and "GSATA" is that "GSATA" uses a separate on-board controller (the Marvell; separate from the Intel chipset). This is why I suggest using one of each, as it will give each drive it's own controller, data path, etc. On the OTHER hand, turning off one of the controllers (ie: the GSATA one) may free up enough resources that having both drives on a single controller may be the 'speedier' option. Personally, I'd turn off the Marvell and just go with the Intel for both drives, one less driver to care about. |
