Im using a:
ASUS P5B Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
It has 4 RED and 2 Black SATA ports.
I currently have all 3 hard drives and 1 DVD drive plugged into the reds and nothing plugged into the blacks. Is this what is should be doing? Im not doing any RAID configurations so does it even matter speed wise?
On another site it stated this: ( I have no idea what that means)
On the storage side, this motherboard has a total of six SATA-300 ports, four provided by the south bridge (ICH8) and two provided by a JMicron JMB363 chip. The ports controlled by the chipset do not support RAID, as the south bridge used is ICH8 and not ICH8R, however the two ports controlled by the JMicron chip supports RAID0, RAID1 and JBOD. One of these two ports is located externally, for connecting an external drive. This port is different, as it is a port multiplier connector, so you can’t use a regular SATA cable on it.
