z68x-ud3h-b3 HDD/SSD

[Yusifer]

I've owned the z68x-ud3h-b3 for 2 years now. I have a HDD connected to it and a SSD as well. Now I got a second HDD and I wanted to connect it to the motherboard, however I'm dealing with some trouble. None of the other ports seem to recognize my second HDD. Here's a link to the picture of the motherboard, to make explaining easier.

On the port I thought you should connect the SSD to (because there's some text above it on the board saying 6gb something, which I thought was for SSDs) but connecting SSD or any HDD to it, I don't see it in Disk Management.

On the two ports my current SSD and HDD are connected to, if I swap any with my second HDD, the HDD is recognized in Disk Management.

The white ports between the black and grey ports I described, two DVD drives are connected in. I swapped one with my second HDD, it doesn't get recognized either, but my DVD drives do work.

So I'm in a bit of a loss here. The motherboard is supposed to be able to support more then 2 HDDs according to the specifications on the official website. Did I miss something?
