Re: SSD drives

Hi Worik,

A search (query string: Intel DQ35J0 sata speed) found this pdf mobo
manual: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15038/eng/DQ35JO_TechProdSpec.pdf

page 10 summary table: Six Serial ATA (3 Gbps)

Getting a SSD that's 6Gbps will still work, just won't go full speed. So
there is no need to pay a premium for the super fastest Intel 500 series or
whatever.


Hope this helps,
Chris
