Hi, 2 sata data cables are bundled with my motherboard( MSI B150M BAZOOKA Micro ATX LGA1151) and I was wondering what type of sata cable they were. Are they sata II (3gbps) or III (6gbps). Also, would this matter in regard to the speed of my ssd I will connect it to. This is my first ever build so I'm sorta confused. Thanks.

they should be sata 6g if your ordering parts order two extra sata cables long 24 inch ones have one end or both straight. on builds i found with newer mb and hard drive trays putting the drive connectors facing the reaR of the case i find you have to use one with 45 bend or the cables hit the rear case panel.
