CPU/Mobo Question about Z68 + SSD

[priyam1309]

Guys,

I believe Z68 mobos support SSD but do all the Z68 Mobos have SSD Port?

Does any of the 3 have SSD Ports -

1. Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-Gen3/G3

2. MSI Z68A - GD65 - G3

3. ASUS Z68 V Gen3

^^ There is nothing like an SSD port, SSD's plug into standard SATA ports OR PCI slots.

So that means, I just have to get a SSD Drive and use either SATA 6GB/s Port or PCI slot? BTW, which PCI Slot (X1, X4 or X16)?

Priyam, in your situation you'll 99% be using the SATA port.

PCI slot is for far more extreme stuff, as far as i know.

Typically, you'd just need to make sure that your motherboard has SATA 3 (and not SATA 2) -- but thats another thing thats doesn't need to be worried about when you're talking about the Z68.
