so. another issue, though not a big problem..
apparently, my gfx card, a gtx 970, blocks 4 of the 6 sata-ports on my motherboard (2 of them are underneath the gfx card, while 2 are visible just below the gfx card, as you can see), which is asus b150m-a ddr4. this means that i only got 1x port "free", since i have my ssd hdd attached to the other free sata-port.
my question: are there any ways for me come around this so i can use the 2 other visible sata-ports, other than buying myself a new motherboard, or am i stuck with this 1 free port?
as you can see on the photo, i've got 2 of the sata-ports being partially visible underneath the 970, but it's still too little space for me to be able to attach any sata-cables there, unfortunately.
