Hey, I see your concern. Since your motherboard only has two SATA ports and you need a 4TB SSD, you have a few alternatives: use an external SATA drive or a USB 3.0 external SSD to connect to one of the ports. If you prefer built-in options, check if your motherboard supports M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs—though that would require a different interface.

Checking the product details, there are indeed four SATA ports on the right side. Confirming with a right-angle cable is likely just for appearance.

Sure, I can help with that. After disconnecting your case, check the other ports on the back or side panels for any connections. If you're still unsure, let me know more details about your setup!

From the correct product page, you can find this information on page 25. The review also mentions it in their article about the Gigabyte B650 AORUS Elite AX Rev 10-11.

There are a total of four ports, arranged in two per plastic stand, stacked one above the other.

I was using it on the left port, but I'm not sure if that's a different SATA port ^_^

You're asking about purchasing screws for your Samsung 870 EVO 4TB SSD, which isn't included. You also mentioned having a NZXT H710i ATX mid-tower case and want to know if you can buy the necessary screws online.

Use the screws included with the case. The drive should utilize M3 fasteners.
