Important
The SATA5 and SATA6 ports will be unavailable when installing a M.2 SATA
interface module in the M.2 port.
SATA7~10 do not support RAID mode.
Many SATA devices also need a power cable from the power supply. Such devices
include disk drives (HDD), solid state drives (SSD), and optical drives (CD / DVD /
Blu-Ray). Please refer to the device’s manual for further information.
Many computer cases also require that large SATA devices, such as HDDs, SSDs,
and optical drives, be screwed down into the case. Refer to the manual that came
with your computer case or your SATA device for further installation instructions.
Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result
during transmission otherwise.
SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is
recommended that the 󰘱at connector be connected to the motherboard for space
saving purposes.
