Asus Maximus VII Formula Which Sata Ports are Intel, which are Asmedia

iTechEveryWeek · Feb 2, 2016

Hello all, I'm just curious as to which ports here on the following photo are asmedia and which are intel. I have 4 SSD's in my PC and want to make sure they are all connected to the Intel as it is the faster option. Thank you to anyone for help!

(The user manual was a little confusing to me so just wanted to be clear).
