Hey Guys - 

Hopefully just a quick, easy question - I'll be using a Crucial RealSSD 128G to install Win7 Pro 64-bit.

Originally I thought to use the fastest port and that is the SATA 6Gb/s of course. On the Big Bang X-Power there's 2 of them.

But while researching I've found that many consider the Marvell controller to be buggy and not very good. Apparently it doesn't pass TRIM commands either.

I'm looking for your thoughts and experience with the Marvell controller on an SSD - so anything you can share will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Don't worry about the disclaimer note.  You can not blow up anything by installing the chipset drivers.  Stop worrying so much and install them. BIOS Updates are the only procedure in which something can go dead wrong.  Everything else (driver updates) are peanuts.  So, just go ahead.  There is nothing to loose.

okay fine! I'll blow up my system then !  :cool:

seriously but - I figured if ever "don't install unless you have to" applied, it would be to the chipset drivers.

But "nothing to lose" sounds good to me.
thanks Jack!
