My Setup:- mobo asus p8z77 v pro / in a 800D case for dual boot.
1. Intel 520 – 180 SSD for OS7 64 premium & apps (first choice boot) /
2. Samsung 840 – 120 SSD for XP pro (second choice boot) /
3. DVD drive /
4. HDD 2TB for main storage /
5&6. 2x older HDD for music and photos /
7. eSATA module
Mobo has 4x intel Z77 SATA 3Gb/s, 2x intel Z77 SATA 6Gb/s, 2x Asmedia SATA 6Gb/s
So,
I take it the SSDs get the intel 6Gb/s slots, there are 4 hot swap bays which could get the 4 intel 3Gb/s slots but then this is where my confusion starts with DVD and the 2 other HDD’s and the eSATA module on the back of the case (which I cant actually see myself using, but then Murphy’s Law kicks in)
Can someone please steer me straight.
(NB: if it's not possible to use XP with a SSD, will put OS XP on the 250MB HDD but then what to use the 120GB SSD for?)
