Easy SSD Question
I should know the answer to this, as I feel like it should be a common sense question, but here goes. I haven't dealt with newer SSD interfaces yet, beyond the traditional SATA. My motherboard has an mSATA slot. Currently, the system volume is a 500 GB Samsung Evo 850 SATA drive. I was toying around with adding a second SSD to run my Steam games from. If I bought an mSATA drive, would it be as simple as just installing it to the mSATA slot and then booting up to assign it a drive letter (after formatting)?
Mainly, what I'm asking is, am I correct in assuming that I don't need to change my boot order in the BIOS to have the system still boot from the SATA drive? I'm thinking no, since it is currently using UEFI, but I just wanted to check. According to my manual, I will lose access to the 6th SATA port, but that's no an issue for me.
