Aurora R11, installing new SSD
I bought a new SSD for my Aurora R11. I noticed that since I had already installed a HDD a while back that I have no free SATA cable. So I bought one to go with my SSD. But now I'm not sure where to connect it on my PC? I see on my motherboard under the GPU there are slots that say SATA. Is this were I plug in the new SSD?

I don't know your setup, but if you are using 2.5" SSD drives I would consider using an M2 drive instead in the slot numbered 8 in that picture.
However, you have to make sure you have the required mounting hardware for it. I believe the screw is not provided with the system unless you purchase it with an M2 drive.

I already have an M2 1TB drive on that slot from when I bought the PC. I was just looking for confirmation that slots 4-7 were the correct place to connect the SATA data cable to the new SDD drive.

Yup 4-7 are correct from what I was told. I’m not sure if there is a speed difference though, that would good to know.
