    Which SATA port do I plug my HDD and DVD Drive into?

    I want to maximize the speed of my HDD and plug it into the fastest SATA port but the manual is super weirdly written. I don't understand it. I only have a HDD and DVD drive with sata ports (I don't have an SSD). So which port should I plug my HDD and DVD drive into to get the fastest speed for my HDD and second fastest for my DVD drive?

    Motherboard: Gigabyte - GA-Z270M-D3H

    I have a sata express port and multiple SATA 3 ports

    that board should only have Sata III ports so one port won't perform better than the other, just drop the HDD into sata port 1 and forget about it

    Any port is fine, use whichever are best for cable management. All run at the same speed, not sure where you read otherwise.

    sata express is faster but you cant plug the normal sata cable in that port anyway afaik

    just plug the sata cable in a port that looks best or fits best to your cable management

    oh i would definitely recommend getting an ssd, even if its only 128gb, but everything will be a lot faster

    and for an HDD it wont change anything aswell, since the HDD is so slow in read/write performance that i wont even use full bandwidth of the sata 3 interface

    so you can just plug it in any sata3 port and youre fine

    Even a black series hdd from western digital? That's like the highest end hdd and I really don't need an SSD.
