I have trouble with the many sata ports on my motherboard. I am building a new desktop with an ssd, but i don't know which port to plug my sata cabel into.

Motherboard: Asus z97- AR
SSD: Samsung 850 pro

The sata ports are divided in categories in the manual of A, B and C and they are called:

A
SATA6G_5
SATA6G_6

B
SATA6G_1
SATA6G_2

C
SATA6G_3
SATA6G_4

Also but less important my case has an external HDD receiver with a sata cable inside the case, which data port for that one also?

Thanks in advance :)

Just for consistency, connect your boot drive to the lowest number SATA III port. In this case, "SATA6G_1"

And for this, "an external HDD receiver with a sata cable inside the case", I think we need more info on what that actually is.
