Default Adding missing SATA connectors to motherboard
In article 83981e4a-f306-432c-9e4b-d0ade341f4a2

I have some motherboards designed for 4-6 SATA ports, but only 2 SATA
connectors were installed, and I'd like to add the missing connectors
plus any needed termination resistors.
Here's an example with an ECS GeForce 6100SM-M v. 1.0 motherboard:

What are the values of the missing resistors? I thought that each
pair of SATA data lines needed one 100 ohm resistor between them, but
on this circuit board the resistors seem to be arranged differently.



You're assuming that the second SATA controller exists to utilize them.
