Lads, I have a brand spanking new P8P67-M Pro which boasts on the box (and on the board itself) that it supports 6Gig sata, but Ive no clue (and cant really find) a drive to plug into this baby to take advantage.
I'd like to squeeze all I can out of this board so any further tips also appreciated.
Ive had a look and cant find a hdd or any other device to plug into this awesome-sounding sata port. Cheers all.

What size drive were you looking for(500GB/1TB/etc.)? WesternDigital and Seagate both make the 6 G sata drives.

I couldnt find any 6Gb/s drives..1T would be ideal so I could store and transfer at awesome speeds..
