[BIOSTAR A70MGP] Motherboard HDD and SSD slot

[johnwalterss]

Hello.

I currently have 1TB right now. I'm planning to add 1 HDD and 1 SSD for this motherboard [BIOSTAR A70MGP] - How many slot for HDD and SSD for this mobo?

I'm planning to buy Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST1000DM010 (SATA 6Gb/s) Hard Drive
and Kingston SHFS37A/240G HyperX® FURY 240GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" SSD

Please let me know as well if these will work on this mobo.

That information is listed in the specifications. They don't connect to slots.

STORAGE
4 x SATA3 Connector

Those drives will work on that mobo.

BIOS options:
OnChip SATA Type
This item allows you to set OnChip SATA type.
Options: Native IDE (Default) / RAID / AHCI / Legacy IDE

I would recommend you set this to AHCI before installing Windows.

Advanced Host Controller Interface
