Preferred SATA ports for SSD and HDD

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am in the process of building my PC using an Asrock X370 Taichi motherboard.

I'd like to attach my various SSD drives, as well as my HDD (Sata connection).

The SATA ports run 1-8 and then A1 and A2.  

Is there a preferred port for SSD usage?  and for HDD usage?  I'm not sure what the A1 and A2 do differently.

Thank you,

Jeffrey

	If its like the x470 Taichi Ultimate than there all the same as far as I can tell from research. The A1 and A2 Slots is for hot swap if you have it enabled in the bios. Home This helps.
