CONNECTING MULTIPLE SSD to HP700-406

[sandralynnhocking]

I have HP700-406 Pc and want to connect the following (1) 1TB Hard Drive, (1) CD/drive,
(1) 250SSD, and (1) 1TBSSD. The PC has (4) SATA ports as follows:
SATA1/WHITE, SATA0/DARK BLUE, SATA3/YELLOW, SATA2/LIGHT BLUE.
My question is are all ports equally the same, can I attach any drive to any of the ports or do I have to connect certain drives to certain ports?

According to the manual (https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c04293944) they're all 6gbps ports, so it doesn't matter too much, though the manual states 6 ports - 4 are facing up and two facing sideways.

If you're not reinstalling your OS, it's probably worth trying to leave the drive which contains it plugged into the same port.
