Does it matter how I connect my hard drives on the motherboard using SATA like my main OS drive (C drive) should be connected to the "0" while my next drives should be on the "1", "2" respectively?

Did you know that we have a thread made specifically for these shitty questions?
>>55436891
Can't find the thread
Sorry since I'm new
It doesn't matter

K thanks
It can matter if you're trying to work out which one of a handful of identical drives is which, as you can check which port a drive is connected to, but other than that it doesn't matter.
Some motherboards do have different speed sata ports on them, so check for that.
>>55436849
It doesn't really matter, as long as it's plugged in and the mainboard detects it
>>55436849
You have to set the master and slave jumpers

kek
I usually have the drives connected to the ports in the order of their drive letters.
This way when some dumbass screws things up it's easier to troubleshoot, and when the bios battery fails it would try to boot the drive on port 0 by default

I used to hate this shit
>Not having the boot order match the order the drives are connected on the motherboard
Amateurs, you aren't true autists. I bet you even wear odd socks.

OP here thanks for the replies.
This I assume it's like the old hard drives wherein we still have to make a Master or Slave.

I used to refurbish and rebuild pc's back between 2002-2005. Holy fuck I hated master/ slave jumpers with a passion.
>>55436849
No.
>>55436849
It only matters if you have several SATA controllers. For example I have an Intel and I think a jmicron controller on my board. the Jmicron controller is slow as shit.
