Hello, I just recently bought an OCZ Vertex 2 SSD and then later found out that my EVGA 680i mobo does not support AHCI. So I am now looking to find a good PCIe card that supports AHCI and is preferably Sata3 (6GB/s).
I have one Sata3 HDD (WD Black 1TB) and my Vertex 2 is Sata2 so is a sata3 controller going to be backward compatible with a sata2 device like my Vertex 2? Not sure why they didn't just make the Vertex 2 with Sata3 support.
So providing the Vertex 2 will work with a Sata3 controller, could anyone recommend me a PCIe card with AHCI support and Sata3?
I was about to buy this one but found out it will most likely not work with my EVGA 680i motherboard. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produc...04&cm_re=asus_6gb_pcie-_-13-995-004-_-Product
