July 14, 20169 yr Author Generally speaking you want SSDs on sata3 ports. It's not the end of the world if they aren't, but it is possible for an SSD to saturate sata2 under sustained, heavy I/O. Since you are going to be maxing out you motherboard sata ports anyway, more SSDs would mean an expander card - so try to go sata3 with that. Thanks for that information. I actually misread the specs on the board. There are 2xsata3 ports and then another 4xsata3 ports on Marvell controller. So I should be good for a bit. @smdion - Yes the community is amazing and I am very appreciative for everyone taking the time to answer my question. A d pointing me in the right direction. Can't wait to get this bad boy built and running.
