Product: envy 700-414
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

On the internet there has been some conversations that of the 4 available sata ports on the  2af7 motherboard, some ports have different speed capibilities. Is this a fact or do all of the ports have the same speed capibility?

 

Also must the boot drive (ssd) be in port  0?

 

Thanks again

@lc1500,

Be assured all 4 headers are the same in that unit.   All are SATA type SATA-III 6.0Gb/s.

 

About that SSD.   It should be in Sata header 0.  That is where you original boot drive resided.  You will need cloning software, see here for an example.

Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

 

Good question ...

 

Here is the link to the specs for the motherboard for your PC:  http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04453446

 

It doesn't say much about the SATA ports, so they are most likely only SATA 1.

@lc1500,

Would you please post the product number (off the tag) on the case.  The HP 700-414 is stated with the Mephis-B board, and the H87 chipset. This chipset does support Sata3 , or commonly called Sata 6GB/sec.

Thanks again for the clarity. I have the SSD in slot / position 1. What will moving it to slot 0 do?

@lc1500,

After cloning original HD to SSD, you to swap it's cable to header0.  The BIOS scans the headers.

As a follow up.. I changed the cables so that the SSD is on port 0 and for wharever reason, the performance (both sequencial and random read write) has increased by about 15%.

 

Thanks again
