Is the Native SATA III Port faster?

[rowlands111]

Alright guys,

I own this PC - http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/model/DT.SQYEK.025

It has a front, hot-swappable SATA III port, which is real handy.

I installed my Corsair SSD to this port, instead of opening up the PC and putting it in the MB's native slot. I then made it my boot drive for Windows and formatted my HDD.

Wondering will the native MB port be faster? Or am I ok for performance in this secondary port.

This is just for educational purposes, my system is running absolutely fine. Cheers.

This port likely either plugs dirrectly inot a motherboard slot or at least is tied into the southbridge like the rest of the sata ports. There should be no difference.

Ah ok, that makes sense to me. Thanks mate.
