Hi,
I am building my first game rig and I ran into a problem about SATA on the motherboard. I will buy a bitfenix shinobi window for my case but the thing is it does not have SATA, so it seems pointless having SATA connection on the motherboard but not on the case. What do you guys think I should do, look for other cases that have SATA or just do not bother with SATA. I am a noob. Correct me if I am wrong about SATA, SATA allows things to be loaded much faster or for external hard drives uses?
Cheers
 
Solution
The SATA ports are internal ports used for connecting hard drives, SSDs, and optical drives. They normally are not connected to external connectors on the case.
