    Yes both drive ports. Probably not the DVD and ESATA.

    Both HD ports are supposed to be SATA III but port 1 seems to be the only one that is true SATA III. A lot of people have been having issues with port 0 not being SATA III when they connect there SSDs and once they change to port 1 their issues are resolved. Reference the link below.

    Is M17x R3 Port 0 TRUE and ALWAYS SATA 6GB/s ???
