990FXA-UD3 Add Third Drive

[pete491]

Guys,

I'm adding a third drive, a SSD, to my pc.  I see where the two already installed drives connect to the MB.  I don"t see a place to connect a third drive to the MB.

Obviously, I have no idea what I'm doing but this seemed like it would be easy.

How to connect a third internal drive?

Thanks!!

Guys,

Just to make my question a little clearer:  I have the SSD installed and power connector attached.  I have a SATA connector.  But it looks like there only two SATA connectors on the MB. 

Question:  Where to attach SATA connector for a third internal drive?

Thanks!!

You've just missed it is all. There's another group of 6 sata connectors. When mounted in the case they are at the front of the board approx 2 or 3 inches from the bottom facing forward (next to the heatsink). I'd actually recommend using these connectors rather than the 2 you've already found. If your OS is already installed wait until you want to reinstall. The drive you're adding will just plug straight into one of these.

Got it.
