[QUOTE="BondAMR, post: 1804800, member: 399056"] So I couldn't wait any longer for controller advice to buy the SSD. I'll trial and error my own findings but I think it will work, atleast theoretically it can. I bought a $140 1TB WD SSD that has a different key setup with a $10 adapter. This is a much cheaper approach than the ridiculous $400 1TB OWC SSD with what has already been proven to have poor controller performance with their crap Sandforce controller. So I think this setup is much cheaper, faster and a better, more reputable brand.
