Can I switch SATA sockets?

[Franksi]

Hi all,

I'm looking to SLI graphics cards on my Mobo but it means i will need to change the connections to my SATA sockets.

My question is: Can i move SATA connectors to different sockets without causing any issues for my system?

Thanks

Yeah, should be fine, the only issue you might have is if you have RAID setup as some ports may not be configured for it. Also different coloured ports may be on a different controller, some motherboards use the JMicron controller for 2 ports (with others on an Intel/nVidia one depending on the chipset), the devices will still works on a different controller but the features supported may differ (this won't be an issue for soemthing like an SATA optical drive).

thanks guys - great news. No RAID issues or anything to worry about - i just need to use right angled connectors so that the graphics card will fit...
