I am planning on installing my new Asus P8P67 Pro mobo tomorrow. I will be upgrading the SSD also to a Samsung 830. Does it matter which 6.0 Gb/s serial ATA controller I use; the Marvell or the P67?
The P67 is obviously integrated into the chip set whereas the Marvell is an add on chip. Therefore it seems the P67 controller is the better choice of the two but I really don't know. I am not building a RAID array and will have only the 128 GB Samsung 830 SSD as my primary C: drive and a WD HDD as a seconday D: drive for bulk storage of pictures, videos, etc.
