With an Asus P5L-MX mb, SATA or SSD boot disk?
I have a PC with Asus P5L-MX mb. I want to upgrade it and I would like to add the best processor, the maximum memory and the fastest storage solution.
For the processor and the memory the things are clear.
What should I use as boot disk, SATA or SSD, which is fastest? Are there any pros and cons?
Thank you very much!
All SSD drives will be SATA.
However, looking at your Motherboard specs it is an old one and only appears to support SATA 1. SSD drives will work on SATA 1 but only at SATA 1 speeds but still faster than a magnetic drive.
Personalty I wouldn’t bother upgrading this Motherboard. I would save my money and get something more modern that will enable you to run Windows 7/8 which this one wont.
