    SATAIII Board - Have SSD, Buy a SATA6gb/s HD Aswell??

    Hi. Pretty much as the title states. When purchasing a SATAIII (6gb/s) supporting board, whilst also having a SSD boot drive, will there be noticable performance differences which warrent getting a SATA6gb/s Hard Drive?

    Or am I better off staying cheaper and going with something like the Samsung Spinpoint F3?

    Thanks!

    AFAIK there are no consumer hard disk drives that even make full use of the SATA II 3Gb/s bandwith wall. Some say it doesn't even break the SATA I speeds but I'm not too sure on that.

    Anywa, go for the Samsung F3 and you should be fine if you have a SSD as a boot drive. You could try setting up some RAID0s though for even increased performance.
