Hi, I'm still digging in to this, but want input from the storage experienced community.
Environment; Windows 10 (current), ASUS H87-PLUS motherboard.
Background; Benchmarked mine to similarly constructed units with comparable devices. (PassMark) Disks numbers were disappointing.
So I opened a project to investigate. No need for math models. The price of the SSD etc. suggests - Put it in there and see what happens.
I started digging in to SSDs to replace my "tubs." I decided not to go too crazy until I understood it better. I bought an SSD, put it on a hot-plug sled, and inserted it. Came up working fine. I didnt move the OS over there. It is a data drive at present.
While testing the new drive I discovered the SSD, and my tubs , in fact all of my so called SATA devices were running SCSI.
This is the SSD Device Instance: SCSI\DISK&VEN_&PROD_CT1000MX500SSD1\4&E937C7&0&030000
(according to Device Manager) My system does have and IDE/AHCI Controller showing no devices attached. I infer from this, my system is interfacing storage using Serial Attached SCSI ( SAS)
I don't know whether that is interesting or not, which is what I am here to ask.
Experimenting with moving one of the SAS attached devices over to the SATA controller - ? yeah maybe. But would a person who understands this stuff advise that ?
I could make a big mess fooling around like that. So I would at least like to know if an experienced person believes there might be something to gain by doing so.
Thanks in advance , all comments are welcome.
