which SATA ports for GA-X58A-UD3R rev.2

[uDraft]

I'm a newbie thru and thru, in need of advice.
I have a GA-X58A-UD3R Rev.2 w/i7/12gb RAM and the following drives-
120gb Vertex2 SSD (w/w7-64bit)
2-600gb DigiRaptors as RAID1
SATA DVD
I originally plugged the SSD and DVD into GSATA2 and the RAID1 drives to GSATA3. I had BSOD once a week til I moved the SSD to SATA2 port.
Where should I have these drives plugged in for best performance?
Also, is there any difference between using SATA2 Port 4 and SATA2 Port 0?
thanks everyone!

Usually you will get better performance if your boot drive is connected to port 0 or 1. I'm not familiar with your board, but the Gsata is probably a Marvel controller and the other ports are native controllers. You will be much better off using a native sata port. That being said, I don't think you should BSOD no matter which port you connect it to.

Your manual is the best place to look - also everything relevant can be found here

No, the information is not contained in the manual. The manufacturer does not answer questions like this. The web site does not contain the information I want. There are 3rd party forums on the link you sent, that's how I got here.
Well, thanks for trying to answer.

Most MB recommend the boot drive to be plugged into Port 0 or 1.
