Hi there.

I've just put together a system build with the Asus Sabertooth P67 (for complete specs check out http://forum.overclock3d.net/index.p...4363-hi-there/)

So this is what I'm planning to do:

I got 1 Corsair 60gb "Force Series" SSD which is for Windows 7 Ultimate, AV etc.

Then I got 2x WD 640gb sata-6gb/s harddrives that I wanna put in raid0

The problem is, I'm not certain which sata ports are the most optimal for each drive

The Sabertooth has got 8 Sata ports in total. 4 black ones which are normal sata-3gb/s ports on the intel controller. 2 brown ones, which are sata-6gb/s on the intel controller with raid enabled as well. And at last, 2 grey ones, which are sata-6gb/s on the Marvell controller without raid enabled.

At the moment, I'm planning to put my 2 HDD's in the brown sata-6gb/s ports to run those in raid0.

I got my Optical drive in port port 6 (sata-3gb/s).

And here's the problem: Which of the ports is the most optimal one to be having my SSD in? At the moment, I got it in one of the Marvell controllers, but I get the impression from reading about that, that's not the optimal port?

Hope I've given sufficient information, please ask if you need to know more.

After reading through some older posts, I found out that the marvel controller didn't support Trim

So I've moved the SSD to one of the Sata-3gb/s ports.
