Hello
I just purchased a 256GB 840 Pro.
I ran my benchmark in the Magician software and quickly learned that my Marvel raid controller is garbage.
I have a Gigabyte X58 UD3R rev2 board and have ready a lot about the sata 2 ports giving better real world performance unless im writing very large files.
I have also been trying to find a controller card that isn't going to break the bank.
Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on this? Should i just connect to the sata 2 ports and call it a day? Should I go for an external card? I actually thought about getting a new board(even though mine is fine), and because i went for the "New technology" 1366 socket, i'm SOL.
Thank you
