Eagle:
Does it matter (speed-wise) whether I connect my SSDs to SATA 3 or SATA Express ports?

I've searched and I can't find a definitive answer.  Apparently, they are supposed to have different plugs but both my SATA 3 and SATAe ports are the same connectors (I have SSDs connected to both types, currently but am I throttling them in the SATA3 ports?). 

Eagle:
...ah wait, hang on.  SATA Express is just 2x SATA 3 connectors plus a 'weirdo' socket.  So I'm guessing the drives will be just as fast in either SATA3 or the Express ports...

Eagle:
...and finally: is chaining a CD Drive and two SSDs on one power cable ok? I guess it is otherwise Corsair wouldn't supply 'em.

yeah that's fine :-)

Eagle:
Thanks.  Basic stuff but I've forgotten more than I'll ever know!
