Alright, bit of a setback.




It turns out that at least on my unit the topside SATA port (sata_3) is a blank with no actual header to plug anything into.  I'm assuming it's there so ASRock could up-spec to a three-sata SKU if needed with minimal fabrication changes.


I could potentially get someone to solder a header on, but that's useless if the Mobo doesn't actually have chip accommodation for three SATA connections.


I need help in two accounts:


- can others confirm no actual header at the SATA_3 location?  My unit isnt the 110W, who knows if they skipped a solder operation on the non-wireless config SKU to save a few cents.


- Would anyone currently running an H110mstx Mobo be able to check their hardware/devices and see if SATA_3 is listed anywhere?  If it is there may still be hope.
