Regrettably, over the last few weeks I have been subjected to a lot of "blue screens". I have traced one cause to be the main disk drive on a Windows 10 system. If date of manufacture of the master drive of 2011 suggests it is now 9 years old but it meats my needs, I therefore plan to replace the drive with one of the same spec. I thought I would also add a 250Gb SSD to speed up the loading of organs. I am not to worried about the boot up time of the computer since I usually switch the computer on before I arrive at it location.
The motherboard is a Sabertooth X58 which has 6 SATA outputs, 2 @ 6Gb/s and 4 @ 3 Gb/s. The replacement drive has a 6 Gb/s as does the proposed SSD. There is also another drive in the computer which is also 6 Gb/s. I presume that these devices will work work on the motherboard. If it does could someone advise me which of the 3 devices should get the 3Gb/s and why?
