Hey guys I want to buy an SSD. And i have a question can i install one in my motherboard? My motherboard is : https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H81ME/

And here are some pictures where I presume the SSD might plug in but don't know which one?

Hey there, Ionutt3.

You can connect an SSD. If you're getting a SATA SSD then the connections are exactly the same as for your hard drive/s. Those are the SATA ports on your motherboard http://postimg.org/image/nlmn9nuo1/. One of the cables is connected to the SATA port (data) of the motherboard and to the drive, the other one is connected to the SATA port (power) of the PSU and to the drive as well.

Your questions are not silly at all. You should never hesitate to ask if there's something you don't understand.

Hope that helps.

Use 6gbit sata ports(yellow) on your motherboard to connect SSD.
Sata power cable is this one

The other one is 8pin PCIE power cable - for graphics cards.

Sorry mate, but unfortunately as an official WD representative, I can't really recommend any devices outside of WD's brand. However, I'm sure that the guys from the community will be more than helpful with that. You could also take a look at some reviews and benchmark tests to compare the models.
