At first, I was just going to upgrade my SSDs to the new OCZ Vertex 3 SATA3 drives with Sandforce 2500 series controllers (rated at Max Read up to 550MB/s and Max Write up to 500MB/s). After getting the drives, I discovered that my old Gigabyte motherboard, X58A-UD7, had a lame SATA3 controller (Marvell 9128) that wouldn't be able to provide the necessary throughput. So, I made a quick trip to Microcenter and came home with a new Gigabyte G1.Sniper X58 motherboard that has the new Marvell 9182 SATA3 controller (which should have no problems handling up to 1100MB/s read/write).
Just got it assembled, and took a few pics. First 3 pics are stock pics of the motherboard. You can click on any of the pics to view a higher resolution version of each.
