SATA ODD connectors used for HDD/SSD
Hi everyone,
Can I use SATA on board for Optical drives for HDD/SSD ? And it’s same speed (SATA3) like on HDD connectors?
Thanks a lot.
Update (05/13/2022)
@oldturkey03 no I know that PATA and SATA are totally different, but on my board are two SATA connections ODD_SATA (Optical Disc Drive?) how you can see on attached picture (blue IDE , red SATA). So my question is, can I connect HDD/SDD on this two connectors ?
- Not sure if someone still using CD/DVD :)
- Need more space :)

The onboard SATA ports in this older series is SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) which requires a SATA II drive, most SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) won't run correctly if you use one on these ports.
Installing a PCI board which offers SATA III ports would be a better direction if you need SATA III ports.

I was thinking about that but all PCIe are currently used.

@roboscrap - Then your only option is to install larger drives for your available ports hopefully SATA III.
If you are thinking SSD then going with a Samsung EVO/PRO drive will work as its one of the few drives that auto sense the systems SATA I/O and matches to it! So it will work on your SATA II ports.

@danj all SATA ports are SATA II / SATA3GBs and it's look like this will work (on ODD SATA connections). but thanks anyway :)
