∙
Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result during
transmission otherwise.
∙
SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is
recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space
saving purposes.
∙
SATA2 will be unavailable when installing M.2 SATA SSD in the M2_2 slot.
∙
SATA5 & SATA6 will be unavailable when installing M.2 SATA/PCIe SSD in the M2_3
