I cloned my HDD to a M.2 to use as a sATA drive, unplugged the other drives and booted back up. It works! but in BIOS it doesn't show in boot priority maybe it's just classed as a "generic storage device"?
If it works with ALL other drives disconnected, you're fine.Asus H97m-e
WD green HDD 500GB
WD blue M.2 500GB
Optical drive
Unplugged all sATAs booted up fine (but much quicker) restarted in to BIOS only boot option is generic device.
