Just wondering what the difference is. My Foxconn motherboard has two colors on it. The user manual does not reference the colors. Any ideas?
One will be an intel chipset controlled and another will be a 3nd party chip both will do the same thing.
OOH, Interesting It's actually an AMD board. Does that matter? How would I find out which is better? There are 4 black, and 2 blue.
Should be 4 SATAII and 2 SATAIII if it's a SATAIII capable board. That or it could be just any other third party SATA plug. deltatux
Thanks No Sata 3 here. Not that new. AM2+ board. I connected everything to the black ports ( I was using blue) and now my Win 7 performance for hard disk went up to 7.7 from 7.4. So maybe the black are a bit faster.
That means those 4 black ones are the one that are connected to the southbridge and the other two are third party controllers over a PCIe interconnect. We won't know for certain unless we know the specs. deltatux
I have 6, 4 red and two yellow, I run my HDDs off the red and my optical drive off the yellow, that's just for the sake of making things easy for me to tell what's connected where though, not for any speed reasons. Oh yeah, even though mine are seperated by quite a distance they are all run off the south bridge anyway so not sure why they did it.
