K8N-E SATA Choices - Opinions Please

#1 July 29th 04, 08:06 PM

Hello all.

I am about to assemble an ASUS K8N-E Deluxe and will have a single 250GB
SATA HDD. There are both nVidia chipset and Silicon Image 3114 choices
on this motherboard. I would like to hear opinions on which will be the
best/most stable choice to which to connect my HDD. I will, of course,
install drivers for the other should I need to move the HDD to a
different channel.

Thanks,

Use the Nvidia SATA as it's native to the northbridge and isn't riding the
PCI bus where it can rob bandwidth from other PCI devices.
