HI,
I have an ASUS P8Z77-Pro MB that is about two years old. I recently purchased another internal hard drive for my computer and I was unsure whether I should use Asmedia internal SATA connectors on the MB and whether I would get 6.0Gb/s out of them.
I have 2 Intel Z77 Serial ATA 6.0gb/s connectors. I use these for my primary operating system SSD and my main HDD that holds a lot of data. Then there are 4 Intel A77 Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s connectors.
Finally, and here is really were my question lies, I have 2 Asmedia Serial ATA 6.0 connectors. It reads, "these connectors to Serial ATA 6.0gb/s hard disk via Serial ATA 6.0 gb/s signal cables." It goes on to say, "The SATA6G_E1/E2 connectors are for data drives only. ATAPI device is not supported."
So my question is, are these 2 Asmedia Serial 6.0 connectors that same as the Intel connectors on the MB? Obviously, there different in at least the fact that they can only handle HDD and not SDD. But would they provide 6.0Gb/s to a HDD plug into one of them? And why are the called Asmedia instead of Intel too?
