    Using quick second SATA-channel reserved for esata-SSD for excl. win7-swapfile-use

    My Asrock Alive Dual esata2 has only two quick SATA-channels. it has also two slower ones. 3 versus 1.5gb/sec.
    the second 3gb/sec is used here for esata-external enclosure.
    How about doing this:
    reserving this second quick slot for second SDD 240gb-drive for exclusive use for swapfile on new win7-64bit-system?
    then using
    PCI Controller Karte | 2x SATA | 1x IDE | 1x eSATA
    for the external drive?
    BTW: this universal MOBO also has two IDE-slots. still using one permanently for DVD-burner. should i get a sata-one?
    dont use the slower SATA-slots normally. normall using the external flat orico docking station 3.5" 6518 series.
    a universal one for 2.5" also would be better. Thanks a lot

    IDE vs SATA I can see no speed difference with cd/dvd-burners.
    Fact is, it is the slowest thing in computers now.
    As for the setup, I sure would try it.
