That is, from the above example, we can conclude that this is an SSD drive that is connected to the SATA 2 connector, which does not reveal its full potential. This program is made specifically for analyzing drives, unlike the HWINFO application discussed above, which is able to provide various information about the system.
To find out which connectors disks are connected to through CrystalDiskInfo, you need to install the application and run it. After that at the top of the screen you can choose which data on which drive you want to view in case there are several drives connected. Switch to the desired drive. Home About us.

In response to bradthetechnut. Hi donmx , Thanks for accepting my post as a solution. I think you are the only person that actually read and understood my post. In response to savvy2. Rust drive came yesterday. Hard disks, on the other hand, do not scale their speed and are limited due to their mechanical design. SATA ports are numbered starting from 0. As far as the performance goes, it does not matter which port number you use as long as they all belong to the same version as discussed earlier.
However for the sake of consistency, generally, it is preferred that the first port i. Also, if you have a motherboard with SATA ports belonging to different SATA generations, the first ports will almost always conform to the newest generation. Here is an example:. So does it matter which SATA port you use? Well the answer to this question is a yes. You must consult the manual of your motherboard in order to see if there are any caveats.
There can also be instances where your motherboard has SATA ports of different generations. Though the SATA interface provides backward and forward compatibility, we recommend connecting a drive to a port of the same generation for optimal performance for example a SATA 3 drive to a SATA 3 port on the motherboard.
