Moving a drive from one SATA port to another

McGraw · 1 Oct 2014 at 12:23

Hi.

Due to my SATA 0 port being wobbly (but fine otherwise) and being too near to my GPU, I'd like to move it to another one, either 5 or 6.

All the ports are the same (intel Z97) but I'm loathe to mess my boot order up or cause any problems in Windows.

I'm sure that things are a lot more straightforward since my last build but I just need some reassurance that this won't cause any problems...board below.

Thanks.

just move it and set the drive as first boot device in bios

This, I've moved plenty of drives around, just confirm in the BIOS what the boot order is.

Ok thanks, I will do it and check/alter the order in BIOS.
