Booting from SATA at 6.0 GBs...
Last response: in Motherboards
Can anyone recommend a middle of the road (around $200) Intel based motherboard (LGA 1366) that will boot from an SSD at 6.0GBs. I guess there are issues with Marvell controllers that only allow SSD's to boot at 3.0GBs, or so I am told. I have a SATA 3.0 60GB drive and want to be able to boot the system from the drive at 6 GBs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Tom's rocks!!!!
