My New SSD

[hobib_ali]

Im connecting my new SSD on my Gigabyte X99 Gaming 5p mobo

which sata connector to I connect the SSD to? the manual doesn't state it,

I think anyone will do right?

Ive got 7 devices altogether 3 optical drives and 1 Hybrid drive and 3 normal HDDs, so shall I just randomly connect to all of them?

You should be using the SATA Express connectors for your main SSD. They are the light gray looking connectors.

oh ok,i don't want to confuse you guys,so let me break it down

I have a light grey sata interface that's directly next to the black sata interface, the grey connectors look identical to SATA,but there is one SATA EXPRESS connection which looks like a mini version of a SATA connector, but I cant use this as I don't have the mini e sata cable

the motherboard states 10 sata's 6 of them SATA3 and 4 of them sSATA3

The SSD has only a standard SATA connection...

so do I use a SATA cable from the SSD to the SATA grey interface??

or do I need to buy that a special cable for that mini sata connection?

I just want to connect the SSD to the right spot so I can utilise the speed...

I thought you just connect your ssd drives to a normal sata connector, did not think the sata express special port was for your ssd.
