    Okay, I tried searching for this but cannot find a clear answer.

    Do BOTH of the M18xR1 SATA slots support Sata3(6GB/S)? I've seen where people said sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't??

    I'm thinking of either buying a single SSD and large HDD or doing a RAID0 with two SSDs, but there's no point in me doing RAID0 if it's going to run at 3GBPS since at 6GBPS a single drive would be damn near the same speed.

    From memory I'm almost certain they both don't run Sata 3.
