I'm installing my new Samsung 840 Pro and the RIIIE mobo only has native 3Gb/s ports (Intel), and two 6Gb/s but these are Marvell.
Sean's SSD Optimization Guide recommends not using the Marvell, but I'm concerned the 3Gb/s ports will hold back performance.
Or is the SSD nowhere near saturating 3Gb/s speeds?
Looks like 3Gb/s = 384MB/s, which seems lower than Samsung's max advertised speeds :/
Thanks!
