I have a Asus P5B Deluxe. It has SATAII on board (SATA-300)
I have a WD Raptor 150GB as my system drive, and it is near full. I am planning on replacing it with a OCZ AGT3-25SAT3-240G Agility 3 240GB SATA III Int 2.5" SSD.
Im not certain that i have AHCI or IDE as my sata setting
My current plan is to clone my windows 7 ultimate to the new SSD and then in windows expand it to take up the remaing space
also in my system is a samsung 500gb drive and 2 1TB drives. Im moving the 1TB's to a new Synology nas, and all my assorted junk (movies et al)
Im going to flatten the raptor and move my Steam folder to it, i cant remember the size of it right now though, but i doubt i'll put it on the SSD, maybe
My questions
1. Will my board take it? I suspect yes, but running at SATA-II speeds
2. AHCI /IDE setting - is this going to bone me? If its IDE (i suspect it is) should i reinstall or set to AHCI and repair windows 7?
3. Anything else im missing?
My final layout is going to be three drives, 1 SSD (system) 1 WD Raptor (steam) and my samsung 500gb (assorted ****)
