hey,

I'm adding another os on a separate drive and just realized when I did my build I didn;t pay atttention to the x79 intel sata III controller detail(especially for ssd's)
.
I have my Wiindows seagate HD on intel sataIII 0Intel sataIII is unused, and 2 ssd's on asmedia sata III controllers.
What I want to know is if I switch my Windows HD to a SATA II controller(which I believe are intel controllers) will it effect anything? assuming I make sure it's selected as the boot drive in bios.
I want to use the intel sataIII for the ssd's.
any advice?

thnx
G

here's my setup:
i7 3820 3.6ghz ,Asrock x79 Extreme6,64G G-skill Ares Series DDR3 1600 RAM,Corsair H80 cooler, Corsair Force Series 3 240G SSD,OCZ Vertex 120G SSD,Samsung 240GB SSD,Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200 HD,EVGA GTX 460 GPU, Corsair TX 750 PSU

Doubt if you'll lose anything or have any problems, the platter HDs may be called SATA III, but no platter drive can even fill the capability of SATA II, they are all platter drives, can only read/write as fast as they can spin

From what I know, you will lose a lil bit of performance but not noticeable :)
