I am working on a specification for a major upgrade of my existing computer.

I have several questions and to make answering easy for the forum I am limiting myself to one question per thread.

My motherboard choice at this point is a Gigabyte GA-Z77X UD5H or something equivalent.

This board supports mSATA and has two additional regular SATA 3 connections.

My question is:

Why would I consider installing a SSD on one of the internal SATA 3 connections over getting a mSATA drive and keeping the internal SATA connections available for large HDs?

Thanks, Floyd

Newbie, having fun.

The UD5H has 9 internal SATA connections 4 are SATA 3 if you use the mSATA then one of the  SATA 3 connectors is disabled. You would the mSATA so that you don't use a 3.5inch drive bays freeing room in the case or just because you can and its cool to play with new tech toys.
