Trying to build a computer (1st time). Can I connect my 520 series SSD Drive to an Marvell Serial ATA 6.0Gb/s connector. My mobo manual states this connection requires 7-pin SATA6G-E1 (blue). It further states "The SATA6B-E1 (navy blue) connectors are for data drives only. ATAPI device is not supported. I'm confused - can I use this connector using a gray SATA6B cable to connect my SSD or an Hard Drive. . My MOBO is an ASUS P8Z77-V LE - OS - Win 7 - Intel I5-3570 - NO RAID and the SSD will contain the OS &amp; Programs.</P>Thanks Tue, 16 Oct 2012 00:14:24 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/install-ssd/m-p/19912#M8025 idata 2012-10-16T00:14:24Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/install-ssd/m-p/19913#M8026 <P>Yes, you can connect your 520 to the Marvell SATA ports.
