Connecting an SSD to a SATA Express port

[Sushrut_Thakur]

I have recently bought a Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB SSD. I haven't received it yet, it's on the way. The main question is, "Can I connect my SSD to this SATAe port?". Now let me tell you that I have a Gigabyte B150M-D3H mobo and it is CLEARLY mentioned in the manual that SATA devices are not compatible on SATAe port. But is my SSD SATA Express compatible? How do I find it? Also, I have a 1 TB HDD which I'll be connecting to my regular SATA port. So my second question is, "Can SATA and SATAe port be used together?" I read somewhere that we can't but just wanted to make sure.
I sincerely thank you for answering the question.

P.S Together as in one drive connected to SATAe and another drive connected to SATA.

That motherboard has 6 SATA III ports. Why are you wanting to use the SATA express port?

why do you need to use SATAe... you have 6 SATA, just use the second one.

why would it be? the SSD is using the SATA interface meaning it is a SATA drive just like your old one. if you want to use it as an external drive then i suggest you purchase a USB HDD enclosure to go with it

SATA Express is not eSATA.
eSATA is for external devices.

SATA Express is brand new, and on that board, not compatible with regular SATA drives.
