This is my first post on this forum, but have been following it for a few years now :)

I want to upgrade my 128GB SSD in my HP Phoenix HPE h9-1080 to the 1000GB Samsung Evo SSD. But I found out that my MLB has no SATA III support. So I thought, I put a new SATA III controller in one of the ePCI slots. But since it has quiet and old motherboard architecture, I was wondering if it would be able to take advantage of the SSD speed and SATA III. What do you think?

I am happy to upgrade the system with to the fastest possible motherboard while using the current CPU and video card. If anyone has any suggestions if I should only go for the SSD and SATA upgrade alone, or should I trow in a new MLB too? If yes, any idea's on what MLB I should go for?


Current specs:

Manufacturer: Pegatron
Form factor: uATX - 24.4 cm (9.6 inches) x 24.4 cm (9.6 inches)
Chipset: Intel H67
Memory sockets: 4 x DDR3
Front side bus speeds: 100 MHz DMI (Direct Media Interface)
Processor socket: LGA 1155
Expansion Slots:
1 PCI Express x16
3 PCI Express x1
1 PCI Express mini card x1

Memory 12 GB
Speed: PC3-10600 MB/sec
Type: DDR3-1333

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580

Most SSDs don't do 6GB/s, let alone 3, and your motherboard has 4 SATA connectors on it. You don't even really need the SATA controller, just use the SATA2 ports that exist, SATA's backwards compatible and will run at the max speed the slower end supports.
