I've just swapped out my server MB and the Extreme 4 has 4 SATA2 connectors and 4 SATA 3 connectors.
2 are via the Intel Z77 chipset and 2 via the Asmedia chipset.
SATA 3 should be faster than SATA 2, but there is a warning sticker saying to use the Intel ports (SATA 2 and 3) for best speed during boot etc.
I will be using 6 drives (one an SSD) so its just a question of which drives to put on which connector - the Drives are SATA 3, 3WD 4TB reds and 2 WD 3TB greens.
Thanks
