I have this motherboard
ASUS P6X58D-E X58 ATX LGA1366 3PCI-E16 PCI-E1 2PCI CrossFire SLI USB3.0 SATA 6GB/S Motherboard
I want this SSD
Intel 520 Series 120GB 2.5IN SSD MLC 25nm SATA3 Solid State Disk Flash Drive OEM
I would like to know if they are compatible with each others . The thing scaring me a little is that my motherboard show as SATA only does that mean I have like the first generation or something? Does anyone know if I have a sata 3 port or atleast sata 2 port that i can connect the sata 3 to. To they share the same kind of connector or each of them have their own kind? Would I need a special adapter if i do infact have a sata 2 to connect the sata 3 to it. WIll it work at it's full potentiel if i dont plug it into a sata 3? Im so lost when it come to this and a little help would be greatly appreciated.
THanks in advance.
