Hello, first off I'd like to thank anyone who took the time to come and read my post, and a double thanks if you take the time to respond!
Recently my first ssd that I bought the samsung 840 pro 256gb was about full. So I went ahead and purchased a samsung 850 pro 256gb. On the X79 sabertooth motherboard there is only two intel sata 6g/bs ports, and now both are being used by my ssds. I actually had to move my 1tb hdd to a sata 3g/bs port. Well on the motherboard there are two sata 6 marvell ports. I was curious in the future if I were to get another ssd, could I use the marvell sata 6 ports for just basic storage? Also my hdd is a sata 6g/bs hdd, but I read that it really can't use the full potential of the sata 6g/bs port, that is why I just moved it to the sata 3g/bs port. So basically I was just wondering if I could use the two marvell ports, because they are actually labeled ssd caching on the motherboard, and I really don't know anything about ssd caching. I really just want to use them as basic storage, and I read that the marvell 6g/bs ports are actually slower than the intel sata ports. Or would it be better for me to get an expansion card that adds more sata 6g/bs ports.
Here is a link to the motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131801&cm_re=sabertooth_2011-_-13-131-801-_-Product
Once again thank you for anyone who takes the time to read this, and thank you if you take the time to answer. I hope you have a great day!
Sincerely, Nick.
