Run OS off Ssd help

[loli559]

Ok so i just bought my new pc and put it together, but i have a ssd, and a hdd

Ssd (sata 2)

HDD (sata 3)

Now the gigabyte motherboard i got has 6 spots i can plug them into

Sata3_0
sata3_1
Sata2_2
Sata2_3
Sata2_4
Sata2_5




where do i plug them into, so that the ssd is the primary (i want to run the OS off it)

Is the OS 7?
If the OS is installed to the ssd, it will be the primary(c) drive no matter the port.
However, If they are both new, 0 and 1. (doesn't matter which is 0 and which is 1). And set those ports to ACHI mode. The port that the OD is connected to may need to be in IDE mode in order to use it to install the os.

Just plug them in wherever on the motherboard and install windows. Windows will recognize both hard drives so you can choose which one you want to install windows onto. It's pretty straight forward.

Connect the ssd to any sata 3 port and set that port to achi mode before installing Windows.
You can put the hdd to any port, but it wont be faster on sata 3. You can also set the hdd port to achi mode, but it may or may not perform better in that mode. If you use any achi features, set the hdd to achi mode.
