I have a 2008 Mac Pro. On the Mobo there are two ODD sata ports, that I ran a striped pair of SSD's as my boot drive in the optical bay.
Welp, I just got my hands on a 2009 and noticed there are two ODD sata ports, but they already had cables in them. I take it one of these sata ports are being used for the DVD drive, and the other for the second optical bay.
This confuses me, because on my 2008 the DVD drive ran off of ATA cable/molex power - And in addition had the two ODD sata ports.
So does that mean I lose a sata port on my 2009 due to no more ATA?
Does anyone have a solution for my striped pair of SSD's? I dont want to run them in my main bays.
