Windows 10: SDD keeps disconecting, maybe could be the SATA Cable

Good morning.In previous posts I have reached out for the help of the community in search of an answer for a problem my trusty laptop has been suffering. An Acer aspire almost five years old, more than a year ago received a brand new SDD and a ram stick. The last few months has been going through spells and the ssd suddendly disconects. The BSOD is either System Service Exception first and most common, Kernel Data Inpage Error more common lately, Critical Process Died every now and then and Memory Management that was yesterday but I was playing Genshin Impact so maybe it was that.

SATA cables

Hi richodude

Rest assured,, that will be fine, you can connect the SSD to the SATA cable for your CD Drive, just make sure to connect to both the data cable onto the motherboard and the power cable to the PSU . . .

 

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

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.
