Ports on SATA connectors located within the graphics card area.
Ports on SATA connectors located within the graphics card area.
You're facing a common concern when choosing a graphics card. The issue is that the ports on your current SATA drive might be covered by the graphics card's design. I checked various options, but the RX 570 with M-series or Sapphire variants seem to block them. You might want to consider a right-angle SATA cable to ensure proper connectivity. This is your first question, so please let me know if you need further help.
What kind of motherboard are you using? You might have between 2 to 4 ports on the right side, which can also be useful. On a PC from a friend’s relative, I had to rely on the ports beneath the GPU and a 90° cable worked in that case, but it really depends on how you position the cable. Remember, the 'minimum wattage' a maker gives is only one measure—choosing a good power supply is equally crucial.
