It depends on the drive really, but for this board and SSD I suggest Intel ports anyway, much more stable and faster 4K speeds. The ONLY thing the Marvell gives you is faster sequential speeds in benchmarks

As I've mentioned before, the latest marvell BIOS rom may not be the fastest either, but even if it is it's probably only 10-20MB/s faster than the others (if that). And I do not know which one is faster, I know there used to be an old one that was fastest, but I have not used those ports in so long I forget which it was and who showed me which one was better way back then so I can't even go ask them so I can grab it to compare to the most recent one.

The only drives I've ever tested on the Marvell ports are 128GB C300's, and that was on all older stuff (old ROM's, drivers, ect), you can see those results in my C300 review linked in my signature.
