I would like to upgrade to a new SSD and wanted to checkout the SATA speeds to make sure I got the correct SSD. The specs for my motherboard say: 6x SATA 2.0 connectors (SATA 0 - 1 @ 6 Gb/s, SATA 2 -5 @ 3 Gb/s).
My confusion is that it says there are 6 SATA 2 connectors, but yet it goes into further detail saying "SATA 0 @ 6Gb/s." I might be incorrect because I'm not that advanced with this, but does that not mean that that is a SATA 3 connector? The other 5 connectors all run at 3 Gb/s which is what I've seen for a SATA 2.
Is that SATA 0 actually a SATA 3? Is the name SATA 0 just telling me it is the port labelled 0 on the motherboard? Thank you!
