Looking for some suggestions. Yup, another Sata/USB3.0 question. 🙂
I need two internal 6G sata connections for SSD's. I would also like to have at least 1x external eSata connection, as well as a couple USB3.0 connections.
I already have one ASM1061 6G card, so this allows for two connections. I currently have it configured for 1 internal sata and 1 external eSata.
Specs:
MacPro5,1
1x HD 5770
256gb Vertex4 SSD - OS/Apps
128gb M4 SSD - PS/LR scratch disk (not currently in use)
4x2TB WD Green drives (internal drives)
Here's what I was thinking...
1) Buy an eSata/USB3.0 combo card.
2) Buy another ASM1061 as well as a cheap USB3.0 card which would max out all my PCI slots.
3) I could possibly sell the SSD's and just buy one larger SSD and just add a cheap USB3.0 card.
What does everyone think. I'm also looking for suggestion on cards as well.
