Hey, so my friend is looking for a storage upgrade. The motherboard is HP Sunflower 8433. It already has a M.2 SSD and we are now looking for SATA SSD.

Problem is that we don't know which SATA connectors does the M.2 disable or is it even possible to just simply plug in a new hard drive?

The motherboard had 3 SATA connectors. Light blue, dark blue and white. Which connectors does the M.2 disable?

Hi:

 

A M.2 drive does not disable any of the SATA ports.
