order usually matters little.
Given there are only 4 I would expect them to be connected to the same sata device, but it could be that there are 2 2 port sata devices and the labeling denotes which of those 2 port devices they are connected to. The labeling is rather odd for it being 4 on the same device.
What is the part number of motherboard?
° It's an ASROCK J3455-ITX. for some servers that never get shut down I try to keep the power requirements as low as possible, I've measured these and they run below 50 watts when idle which is most of the time since it's home usage. They are low end but work well enough ...
i also see in the manual: Storage • 2 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors, support NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug • 2 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors by ASMedia ASM1061, sup- port NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug
I have wondered about the SATA connector designations and their use for a long time and appreciate the information. I'll just go on as in the past then, it matters not.
Thanks
