lex71x · 08-05-2007

my one internal (bootable os) drive is plugged into the black.. these are my connectors as labeled:

Black - SATA 1? (no label, there is a capacitor in the way)
White - SATA 2
Blue - SATA 3
Orange - SATA 4

which connector should i be using? i might use my new HD eventually to boot linux, but thats not completely important. i heard there was some advantage to using 1.5gbs over 3, but i forget exactly what that was so i'm not sure which i should be using (or which connector it is).
