I have a Samsung SSD 850PRO drive for a new build pc. Thinking SATA express is faster we plugged this drive into the SATA express port on a Gigabyte Z170X-UD3 motherboard. The bios sees this drive ok. We realized afterwards we should have used a SATA 3 port.
I am about to install windows (the SSD is the only drive on the machine). Can I use the express slot without causing problems? Or should I move the drive to a SATA 3 connection (not overly easily accessible).
If it is ok to load windows as is, can I later move the connector to SATA 3 when I can get back into the PC and rework some things?
Thanks for helping a newbie!!
