Hi All! I am planning to buy a Gigabyte G1.Sniper B5 motherboard. It has 4 x SATA 6 Gb/s ans 2 x SATA 3 Gb/s.

The storage i'd use is a WD Caviar Blue 1TB 64MB Cache SATA 6 Gb/s. Eventually, i'd use up all the SATA ports, plugging a SATA 6 Gb/s on a SATA 3 Gb/s.

If a HDD with 64MB Cache SATA 6Gb/s was plugged on a SATA 3 Gb/s port, will there be any difference? I know the transfer rate will be limited to 300MB++, but what about the Cache?
and do you have other thoughts plugging SATA 6Gb/s on a SATA 3/Gb/s?
