Hey gang,
I am looking at increasing my SSD space on my current rig. My system still runs very well and I will probably wait another year or two before building a new system. So I am going to need some more SSD space in the near future as I continue to add games.
Currently I have two ea 256 gb Samsung Pro SSD drives ( C& E), that are plugged into the two Intel Sata III 6gb controllers. My C: drive I have of course Windows and all my applications on, my E: drive is dedicated for my games.
 
My options are:
Replace the games SSD with a larger one where it will still utilize one of the Intel controllers.
Add a SSD and plug into one of the Marvell controllers.
 
Obviously it would seem to make more sense to do the latter as I would still have my current 256gb drive utilized as is and have the new one for installing new games as I add them. My only concern there is seems like I had read in the past when I first built this system that the Marvell ports were less than optimal to use for Sata III SSD drives - or am I remembering wrong?
 
Thanks for any tips,
 

My 500 Pro ran out of space even though I moved 1/2 of my Steam games to a spare ssd. I bought a 1000G ssd for Christmas and cloned the C:\ drive. I then made the 500G my spare drive by reformatting it. I also have 2 smaller ssd drives I use for backups. I don't like to enable the Marvell controller due to the extra boot time required.
