NOTE: G750 OS Drive on motherboard Port 0

[Maxter]

I noticed that on my JW, the original HDD came on bay "A". So when I installed my new SSD, I placed on bay A and the HDD for storage, on bay "B".
This morning, I went into BIOS for sh1ts and giggles and noticed that Bay "A" is labeled as Port 4 and Bay "B" ir Port 0. I switched the drives around and placed the SSD (OS Drive) on bay "B". Now the BIOS reads the OS Drive as in Port 0 of the MoBo. The computer runs twice as fast!
WTF?! Is this a problem for everyone? why did they install the main HDD on Port 4?

Check your model out and comment.

Cheers!

Hello,

I've noticed the same thing about the changing to port 0 but in my case it just stopped working in that bay.

Have you something to change it?

Thanks

Hi,
"The computer runs twice as fast!" hmm, interesting.
when i got mine (G750JX) it had the SSD in Port 4 and HDD in Port 0. it didnt run for long enough originally to do any speed tests (1 day before i had to complete format, recovery partition did not work)

i changed the main OS SSD to Port 0 and have a second SSD for storage in Port 4 (sometimes for efi booting) as for me multi-booting it is easier to keep track which is which (the 2 SSDs are both the same Crucial)

i have the original 1TB HDD in the dvd bay now and that shows up as Port 2.
where is Port 3 then...

seems like Asus put the OS drive in the wrong slot for both our models?

p.s. would be helpful if everyone put their model and config in their sigs, hint 😉
