pretty much the title. I'm putting my new system together and I am curious if it will really make a difference if i plug my DVD drive into a sata 3 instead of a sata 2 port. Obviously more available bandwidth, but will it actually use it?
 
Considering the read and write for DVDs is only 10Mbit (1x), they are only getting close to SATA1 speeds, so I wouldn't waste one of the SATA3 ports on a DVD drive.
