Title: GA-X58A-UD5
Post by: twitch on March 26, 2010, 08:34:43 pm

Hello,

Could someone please help a bit of a noob out  ;)

I have  the MB above coupled with an i7 920

and I have just bought a Crucial 256GB C300 SSD...
Now being a Sata 3 drive ..
Should I put it on the Marvell sata connections for sata3 in ACHI mode ?
Will trim work with the Marvell controller ?

Or is it best to put it on one of the Intel controllers with are sata2  ?

I Have searched and have yet to find an answer to wether trim works on the 6Gbps Marvell controller...

Help   ???

Thx

There is a new interesting article on a respected resource AnandTech

There are several tests with the GA-X58A-UDR3 Marvell SATA3
