2020年8月6日 · The board you're looking at has one port on the SATA connectors shared to an M.2 port on the board. That being said, when you have a SATA based M.2 drive in the M.2 slot, SATA port 1 will be disabled. If you have an NVMe PCIe based SSD in the M.2 slot, SATA port 1 will be available.

2017年10月9日 · That's probably SAT6G 1 and 2 instead of 12, same with SATA3G that's 5 and 6 and not 56. For ease of use I would connect SSD to SATA6G-1 because BIOS looks for first port first. PS. Some start numbering with 0, others with 1 but it doesn't matter as BIOS could be set to BOOT first from any port.

2011年10月11日 · I have tested the drives with their respective diagnostic software and they have come back with no errors. Also, with only the WD plugged in I was able to install the Windows 7 when plugged into the SATA port number 2 of 4. It failed to install on the first port because it disappeared part of the way through installation.

2014年8月20日 · I have an ssd and 4 WD 1TB HDDs (same models, different data) installed in my machine...I want to upgrade one of the HDD to a 4TB one...how do I know which SATA port it is connected to? Bios just shows the model numbers...do I have to plug and unplug until I …

2019年7月2日 · If you have a SATA-based SSD in M2A, you lose SATA port #1, regardless of whether the port is "enabled" in the BIOS. If you have a SATA or NVMe SSD in M2M, you lose SATA ports #4 & #5 - again, regardless of the enabled/disabled status in the BIOS.

2013年12月20日 · by the way the _12 means port 1 and port2, the top one in the stack of two being port 1. dvd drive in sata6g ports 5 or 6 (yellow again) All the yellow ports are on the intel hub controller and offer the best possible speeds. In the bios there will be an option for the sata moe they run in, make sure ahci is selected.

2021年10月13日 · Thank you all for the replies. I ended up plugging it into my SATA 4 Port and it works now. I have a MSI Z390 SLI Pro motherboard for the person who asked. The Motherboard manual said that you can't have anything plugged into the SATA 5 Port if you plug in a 2nd M.2, so I just moved the SATA plug into the MB's SATA 4 port and it's working good now.

2015年3月25日 · Yes - any port. You just set the boot order in the BIOS if you have more than one disk. If you only have the one disk, that's it. Some motherboards have two different SATA controllers and in that case it might matter which port you plugged a drive into (for example, you would want to ensure that you plugged an SSD into a SATA 3 port).

2020年5月26日 · Games are kept on a 2TB U.2 Drive and a 1TB PCIe SSD. So in all I use 1 SATA, 1 NVMe (NVMe to SFF-8643 to U.2, yes it's complicated, U.2 isn't a common connector so I had to use adapters, but hey it works great) and 1 PCIe slot for storage. Had I not had a NAS, I might have had 1 or 2 HDDs, using SATA. So at most I'd personally need 3 SATA ports.

2016年1月3日 · A lot of the motherboards from that era had two SATA 3 ports, and four SATA 2 ports. If you're using a SSD you want it plugged into the SATA 3 port. Moving it to a SATA 2 port, while not devastating, does reduce performance. The SATA ports are usually color-coded if you have mixed speed ports.
