After many years with AMD I thought I'd give Intel a try again(yes I know it's better)
My Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H should be here in around 2-3 days so I have a couple of questions before unpacking
1- there are 4 SATA 6GB connectors(5 actually) two grey and two white,2 are driven off of the Intel Z77 Express chipset, while the two grey SATA 6 Gb/s ports are managed by a Marvell controller Which one should I use(mainly for my SSD)
2 - There are 2 LAN ports, one on the right driven by an Intel controller, and the other by an Atheros controller. again which one offers best performance?
And while I'm at it what software should I use to format my SSD and prep it for the new installation?
Thx in advance
