Important
●
SATA5~6 ports will be unavailable when installing the M.2 module in M.2 slot.
●
Please do not fold the SATA or SATAe cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may
result during transmission otherwise.
●
SATA or SATAe cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However,
it is recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for
space saving purposes.
