Optiplex 760 MT - New SSD. Which SATA port
I noticed my Optiplex 760 MT has what appears to be 4 SATA ports. 2 are currently being used (spinning drive and DVD-RW) and I will be adding a Samsung 840 Evo shortly. I just want to make sure it does not matter which SATA port I use for the SSD. I assume they are all SATA II?

Hi Cutlassvilliger1,
I should not matter but I always put my system drive on SATA port 0. I also disconnect non-system HDDs during the Windows installation to avoid doing anything unintended to other drives.

Thanks for the help! I put the SSD on Port 0 and the SSD has given my machine a big performance boost! Start time got cut in half to about 25 seconds.
