Help avoiding sandy bridge probs on asus p8p67

[nomorenails]

Hi everyone,

I was hoping for a bit of help in avoiding the problems with the sandybridge chipsets, apologies if this has been asked before but i didn't find anything which explained it in small enough words fo me!

I have an asus p8p67 mb, and currently 4 devices plugged into the SATA ports: a CD drive, a SSD (with the OS), a normal hard drive and an eSATA port (which i'll rarely, if ever use)

I was wondering is there any way to have these all plugged into the 4 x 6 GB/sec ports, as I understand that these have no problems, is that right? I read somewhere that you can't have certain stuff on the 2 Marvell ports but haven't been able to find out exactly what.

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

Thanks for the reply. That's how my drives are set up at the moment.
Is there any reason I can't put my hard drives onto the marvell ports and the CD/eSATA onto the 6Gb intel ones? You make it sound like putting things onto the Marvell chip should be avoided.
