I've got 2 Samsung 840 Pro's 128 gb in RAID0 on my MSI board. I have a Samsung 840 Pro 256 on the secondary SATA III controller (Asmedia). The Asmedia only benches the thing to around 340 seq. Is there any add on SATA III cards that would do better?

I guess we'll just have to wait until Intel includes more SATAIII ports in future MBs.
Don't you have 4 other Intel SATA II ports?
Sure, but they came back slower than the Asmedia.
Is there a 'real world' noticeable difference having an ssd on a sata2 vs sata3 port?
Is loading a game in 14 seconds instead of 20 seconds noticeable to you? It is to me.
Ahhh!! You make an excellent point ... (even if you didn't mean to )Is loading a game in 14 seconds instead of 20 seconds noticeable to you? It is to me.Is there a 'real world' noticeable difference having an ssd on a sata2 vs sata3 port?
I found the Apricorn Velocity Micro x2 which is a Pcie (x2) card that your SSD fits in to. It needs an x2 Pcie x16 slot either at x2 or x4. I tried it on my MSI Z77 board and it works great. I have speeds of 503 and 485 for seq.
How about posting an AS-SSD or ASU benchmark screenshot?
Sequental speeds aren't the problem but 4k & 4k-64Thrd are and that's where you'll use the drive most of the time.I have speeds of 503 and 485 for seq.
Why?
Well Old Hippie it seems to be better than the Asmedia on my board.
You are comparing 2nd tier controllers.Well Old Hippie it seems to be better than the Asmedia on my board.
Old Hippie I'm beginning to see your point. Question though, if I can run an x4 add on card does that get me anything faster?
Sorry, no.if I can run an x4 add on card does that get me anything faster?
