Computer wasn't on. I just needed to ship out my mobo to get it fixed. However I disconnected all the SATA cables from both mobo and the SSD's and HDD. When I receive the fixed mobo, will my data get all messed up if I plug the cables in the wrong sata port?

not now, no. If you would have made note of the connectors before disconnecting them.... I have raid in my PC and it doesn't matter how they are hooked up. I've had to swap the cables to trouble shoot a problem and the controller recognized the new config.

I have 8 sata slots on my mobo... I'm running 3 HDD's and 3 SSD's, is there an easier way to do this?
