    Hi, I have a new enthusiast PC and am a bit confused with the orientation of perhiberals for the SATA III ports for my SSD, Blu-Ray writer and Hard Drive

    The motherboard offers me the following types:
    Intel x79 SATA III 6GB/s x2 ports
    Intel x79 SATA III 3GB/s x4 ports
    Marval SATA III 6GB/s x2 (also SSD Caching)

    According to the manual the first intel two ports are hard drives and SSD, and the other 4 are for optical drives.

    As mentioned above I have the following to install and am
    wondering which ports I should use for optimun performance, taking into account the two controllers (Intel and Marval)

    OCR Vortex 3 200GB SSD SATA III 6GB/s
    Western Digital Caviar 1TB 7200rpm SATA II 3GB/s
    LG Blu-Ray 4x writer SATA 24x DVD

    Thanks v much in advance

    vertex3 to the intel sata III port
    WD disk and LG optical drive to the intel sata II port
    leave the marval port empty
