Hi! Im about to change my MoBo to build a mATX buid with the Corsair 350D, as I will use custom watercool in a small case, I count with little space to accommodate SSDs/HDDs.
I was thinking of using the mpcie combo from the Maximus V Gene (the MoBo I´ll use) with a mSata SSD, I was thinking about the 840 evo 500GB msata, I´ve checked that the mpcie combo version 1 (the one that comes with the Maximus V Gene) have a msata 3Gb/s port, also I have investigate that there´s no a real lost using a 6Gb/s SSD with a SATA 2 port (actually with an article from here).
Well everything seems all right so far to go for this SSD, mainly I´ll be storing there my steam and origin library, the only doubt I have is why I always read something about this msata port it´s been use only to have like a cache SSD? does this port was meant only for low storage SSDs for caching? Can I really put a 500GB SSD there? there would be a real performance lost?
Hope someone can help me, thanks!
