I'll have a look around, but I don't believe there's any other differently colored ports. Next to the lot of them, it just has 6GB/s written, I believe. Looking at my SATA ports, it seems to only have one "lot" of them. Will need to reinstall Windows if you make that change. In the bios, set the sata controller to ahci mode if its on ide. You might be connected to Intel's sata already but check. If you have both they should be coloured different and once you identify Intel's coloured ports, use that instead. Its common for mobos to have another set of sata ports known as Marvell. General setup of an sata ssd is to use the main chipset sata ports, ie Intel. The older sata ssds are still plenty fast enough so either return the m2 and get another sata ssd or try an adapter for storage means.Īs for your current ssd appearing not to be quick enough on boot, is this after bios post its slow or before? There are pcie to m2 adapters but you wont be able to boot from it. If you search m2 slot for pictures you'll see. Yeah you need an m2 slot which your mobo doesn't have. Once again, I'm a noob at this, I apologize if this is something that should be obvious. Because apparently taking about 30 seconds to get into the login screen on a newly formatted computer with JUST the OS on the SSD is too long. I'm also starting to think that the SSDs that my OS is on might be installed wrongly too as it's just plugged into SATA ports like my HDDs are since they seem to have the same ports unlike the SSD I just got. So looking up some videos on where and how to plug it in and then looking at my motherboard, it doesn't seem to me like my motherboard even has the slot necessary to slot the SSD into. Getting another SSD now, it seems to just be something more of a chip you slot in and I'm getting the feeling that this is the "norm" for SSDs, not what I got previously. But when I got the SSD, it was in some sort of case and was mounted like a HDD is. ![]() When I ordered and put together this computer along with an SSD and some HHDs with the help of a friend, it wasn't too much trouble at the least. Firstly, the SSD is a Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2.
