Please do not fold the SATA cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may result during 
transmission otherwise.
 
SATA cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However, it is 
recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for space 
saving purposes.
 
SATA7 will be unavailable when installing M.2 SATA SSD in the M2_1 slot.
