Yeah the manual is actually helpful. if you look it says if you have something in the m.2 slot that SATA 5 and 6 won't be available. I am having this same issue. I just need to at some point get in there and rewire which SATA port I am using for my DVD drive. That might happen some day but lets...

Yeah I had done that part prior. The issue was that I think my motherboard is odd from what I can tell. If I hooked the other drive I had cloned up with the SSD at the same time it couldn't figure out which drive to boot from and just kept retrying. I ended up doing something I would have...

Okay. So I should disconnect all but the SSD then just connect the old drive that I need to format then? Because I know exactly which drive it is within my system.

On a side note. I had a HDD stop reading forever ago and I think it sort of read a bit after I redid all the connections. I am not sure if that is the item showing as disk 2 or if that is the HDD that I need to recover now that I have cloned it

Okay so I have the SSD cloned from the HHD. I had intended to use a different Drive letter for the new drive, will changing that in Disk Management cause an issue? And the main reason, since it renamed the SSD to match the other HDD, the HDD is not showing up in My PC obviously. In Disk...

I went with the Samsung 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E1T0B/AM) that you suggested. I have some things on that drive I would rather not move to the SSD but from what I understand it would be simpler to move them and then just transfer back the items I do not want on there. I...

So I am getting an SSD card for my MSI Z97 gaming 7 motherboard. It has a specific port for this, a m.2. I keep seeing something along the lines of you need to clone it and then disconnect the original drive and then attach the SSD to the same sata the other one had been using. Does this mean I...

Sorry if I was not clear. The front fan does not seem to spin, and I do not recall if that one ever did. I am guessing I may have not gotten it plugged in correctly. I just do not think I ever worried about that one as it was on the front with nothing between it and the rest of the case. With...

I have a case I bought I would say about 10 or 11 years ago. I know it is an Antec something. It has one fan up top with a "spolier" a fan in the back, a fan in the front, and the power bay is in the bottom. For the life of me I am not certain which case it is. I updated a bunch of stuff a few...

I am trying to buy an SSD for this motherboard but I want to make sure I am not buying something that will not fit. Would this drive work for this board http://Silicon Power 1TB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5" 7mm or would this one be better http://WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB...
