What in the world made you guys use the Marvell controller? As an SSD enthusiast, the best advise I can give, is to disable the marvell controller, and keep it that way.. This board has Intel SATAIII, two ports, and Intel SATAII with 4 ports, never use anything else for internal storage/OS-drives..
Never testet the mv9128 Marvell on this board, but tested the same controller on other boards and allthough no BSOD crept up, it was complete....
As for changing controller to Intel from Marvell while the OS is installed, navigate to this regkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Msahci and change the "Start" value to "0", then reboot and change to Intel, install Intel drivers when you get back into the OS and remove the Marvell stuff if this is installed....
When it comes to performance, only the 9182 Marvell is decent, all the rest is crap imho, as for stability, I've not experienced any issues, that is with latest Marvell drivers not OS default...
