Does it matter where on the Motherboard you plug in the SATA Cables? Thank You!
Make sure you are plugging HDD's and SSD's into the first two or four ports on the mobo. These are usually faster than the others. ODDs can go wherever.

And how the fuck? Did he mod the sata or something?

Did you tell him to never ever ever touch the inside of his computer ever again?
[QUOTE=Del91;40882925]Did you tell him to never ever ever touch the inside of his computer ever again?[/QUOTE] I've had people bring me computers with the floppy power connector plugged into the optical drive sound input on the motherboard, or even using the floppy ribbon cable on the optical drive by bending the fuck out of the pins and forcing it on. And I've seen many other atrocities, someone doing what that guy did really doesn't surprise me anymore.
