I have two SATA hard drives, a SATA 1 SSD drive for booting and a SATA
3 Samsung drive for data on a P5KC mb. Is there any reason to use the
JMicron controller? I am not running RAID and I do NOT have an eSATA
drive?

Is the performance difference in running on ICH9 neglible?

The ICH( is one of the better SATA controllers out there. I'd leave the
JMicron controller alone if I were you, unless you really need it.

the jmicron driver is for configuring the ide port if your using all sata
drives
you don't use it.

I have had flakiness using the JMicron. My drive, either SATA or hard
drive would become inaccessible after the computer has been running for
a few hours. Nero took over an hour to burn a single layer DVD on a SATA
burner as well. I call it GayMicron. The ICH9 is very reliable IMHO.
