Hello all,
I am about to order a Samsung EVO 850 1TB SSD to replace my current system HDD drive. I plan to migrate everything on the "C" partition of the HDD to the SSD using the Samsung migration software. My problem in carrying out this change is that my computer has 4 internal HDDs and since it is difficult, if not impossible, to see the information on top of the drives, I don't know which of the 4 drives is the system drive. Does anyone know how I can find out (without taking anything apart) which drive is connected to each of the SATA ports on the motherboard? Using the MB manual, I can identify each of the ports on the MB and then follow the cable to its connection with the HDD. My MB is an ASUS P6T Deluxe and I have the 4 drives connected to SATA1-SATA4 ports.
I also have a Thermaltake BlacX eSATA USB Docking Station into which I will place the new SSD to do the migration procedure. So, when this is completed, I will remove the current system HDD and replace it with the SSD; however, I want to be totally sure of which drive to remove so that I don't mess up anything that is now working properly. I am just a little bit nervous about making this change, so any kind of information and help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
