Just bought a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 rev.3 board and connected various SSD's, HDD's and DVD-RW's to the SATA connectors. I put my boot disk, a Crucial M4 SSD, on SATA3_0. Also, I put an Intel Postville SSD on SATA3_1.
Just to make sure that's correct: the M4 is connected to the lower slot of the white SATA connector (the slot closest to the board) and the Postville is connected to the upper slot of the same white SATA connector.
Now here's what puzzles me: when I look in BIOS, it shows the M4 is on IDE Channel 0 Master. Therefore I assume that Channel 0 is operated by the Intel SATA-600 controller. But then shouldn't the Postville be on IDE Channel 0 too? According to BIOS, the Postville is not on IDE Channel 0 Slave, but on IDE Channel 1 Master.
Perhaps I'm mixing up definitions. To enlighten me, I would really appreciate if someone could explain this to me and perhaps point out which connectors on the board (SATA3_0, SATA3_1, SATA2_2, SATA2_3, SATA2_4, SATA3_5, SATA3_6) correspond to the various IDE Channels in BIOS. Thanks a lot!!
