I would suggest installing the latest motherboard BIOS first. Connect the drives with the SSD to SATA2 port 0, and counting up from there. Do not use the white SATA3 ports, in fact disable the Marvell SATA3 controller in the BIOS entirely. Make sure to do this as soon as possible to prevent damage to your SSD.

Also note that your motherboard has an Intel SATA controller so you're not using drivers from either Gigabyte or AMD. The drivers are built into Windows 10.
