I have ASUS P5KPL-C and want to buy a SSD or SATA-III 6Gb/s drive for it. Please advise me: * does it make sense to buy SSD drive for a mb that supports 4x SATA 3Gb/s (of couse, expecting a possible future mb upgrade)? * if SSD is capable of working at greater speed, will it simply operate on maximum 3Gb/s on P5KPL-C? * the same question for SATA-III 6Gb/s. Will it simply operate on 3Gb on my mb? * How will FreeBSD 9 behave in such situations? Any special tweaking needed? Thank you very much for your explanations, Sergi M.
