I want to make sure I get a P67 motherboard that has a Intel Sata 6 controller and not a marvel or highpoint one. Dose anyone know if the asus or msi boards have the intel controller?

There are two SATA 6 ports built into the P67 (and H67) chipset, so every board has to have it. If there are more than 2 SATA 6 ports, then the others are from an additional non-intel controller.

So far all the MBs I have looked at differentiate the native(intel) sata 6 ports from the non-native(marvel etc) sata 6 and sata 3 ports by coloring the ports differently. The manuals/spec sheets specify which color is which.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you prefer Intel over non-native? From what I've read, Intel fairs better w/ IOPS and bandwidth only on SSD....is this true?
