AMD boards Marvel Controllers for SSDs

LiquidHard · Jul 25, 2012

New to SSDs here...

Will marvel controllers run good with ssds?

Looking to procure a new am3+ board like:

or

http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX Extreme4/?cat=Specifications

but it seems they run marvel controllers and googling brings up -ve stuff on marvel.

Will it be fully functional with an SSD like m4 by crucial?

It might bottleneck the SSD a bit. Dunno about a Crucial M4, it's a bit slower than the Sandforce screamers. Doesn't the 970 chipset give any native SATAIII ports?

Just plug it into a native SATAIII port and you should be fine.

I know the Marvel controller I had on my X58A-UD3R board had trim issues , the newer controller should be fine

So we plug em SSDs into the native ports or the marvel newer controllers?

My tot was if we spend that kinda of $ on SSDs, we wana get it to work at the speeds its supposed to ya..
