There are four SATA data connectors on a new main board. Usually I just plug in to them as convenient disregarding the numeric designations. Is there a proper order in which to connect two or three drives and what is it. Neither the board manual or my google searching have been any help. The connectors are labeled:
SATA3 _A1 SATA3_1 SATA3 _A2 SATA3_ 2
Can someone tell me what order to use them in or if it matters? They are labeled so it would seem there certainly must be a reason ...
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?
