Well, a first question would be… what is this data?
OK, a first-first question is this: do you mean “float x[9],y[9],z[9];” as you said the first time, or “int x[9],y[9],z[9]” as you said the second?
Either way, it’s not a good idea to transfer this kind of data. If you want to transfer an array of 9 XYZs (for some reason), then you need to provide it that way: an array of 9 XYZs. Not an array of 9 Xs, 9 Ys, and 9 Zs.
You can send it that way, but it’ll be a big pain to access in your shader.
It can sometimes be easier to access big data structures like this via texture buffer objects and access the buffer object in the vertex shader via a vertex texture fetch.
