September 10, 201213 yr I am ready to make the jump to SSD's. I currently run my OS on a 250Gb HDD and my programs including FSX on a 2nd 500Gb HDD. I am upgrading to an ASUS P8z77-V Deluxe and adding 2 256GB Crucial M4 SSD's and 1 512GB Crucial M4 SSD. I believe I will put the OS on one of the 256Gb SSD's, all programs except FSX on the other 256Gb and then put FSX and it's supporting programs and files on the 500Gb SSD. I do have a 1T HDD for data, downloads and temp files. Does this sound correct? My MB has 2 Marvel 6Gb Serial ATA connectors and 2 Intel 6Gb Serial ATA connectors along with 4 Sata3g connectors. The manual says something about SDS Caching on the Marvel controller? Is there a correct way to hook all of this up? I remember hearing something said about TRIM with SSD's sometime back? Any help guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rick S
September 11, 201213 yr Most likely the Intel SATA will be fastest so I'd put the OS and FSX on it. Last SSD connect to the Marvel. 1T HDD could go on last Marvel unless you want to save it for a 4th SSD down the road.

September 12, 201213 yr Author The above article answered most of my SSD questions. I have several HDD's in IDE mode and would like to include them into my system for data, reference etc. I understand I should put the SSD's into AHCI mode; will I be able to acces the HDD's? I seem to remember a problem here with my last build. Thanks again Rick S.
