Changing SATA 3gb cable with 6gb cable

Hello all!

I had a very basic question, I was just wondering will there be any issues with simply changing a 3gb sata cable with a 6gb sata cable?

My MOBO has 6 Grey sata ports (I think 3gb) and 2 Red sata ports (I think 6gb). I swapped out the 3gb cable with a 6gb cable in the red sata port. Do I need to do anything in BIOS, any further steps? Does it matter which red port I plugged it in? 1 of 2?

When I first booted I got a post and everything, then just as the windows logo came up to load my pc shutdown instantly.

Then when I booted it up the 2nd time it booted into windows all sweet as per usual, very strange. Would changing sata cables have anything to do with this?

The only other thing I did was clean up all the extra hard drive power cables I had, the cable that has 6 or so hardrive power plugs and replaced that with a cable that only has 2 power plugs, obviously because I wont be needing the other one since I only have 1 harddrive.

Thanks

E-sata connections not working.

Thank you Harkanwar,

There is no Security software at this point other than any Windows (i.e. Defender) that might have come automatically.

I will try the steps on option 1 and let you know later tomorrow.

So that you know......I was having similar issues with the MOBO USB ports that provide connections to the front of the case (card reader too). After unplugging and plugging them (2) back, windows acknowledged the additional drive letters. But that did not work
for the only internal Sata cable to the E-sata port iin the front panel.

 

SATA cables

I just got my new SSD and i dont have a spare SATA cable. I dont live near a best buy or tech shop and ordering online would be a last resort. Im wondering if it is ok to borrow the SATA that connects my cd drive to my motherboard.
