What lepiaf37 didn't take into consideration is what I mentioned above...  the adapter card will

a) Reduce the speed of your primary PCIe slot from x16 to x8
b) Only operate at x1, PCIe Gen 2.0

Regarding re-use of your components.  Your Lynnfied CPU is over 8 yrs old and only supports 1066/1333Mhz memory. 

Socket 1156 processors were P55/H57 chipsets.  Example below:

Because of its age, there is no upgrade (swap) option. I suggested a standard SSD because it is compatible with a greater number of boards.

If you decide to stay where you are, then I would consolidate.  Buy 1 bigger drive (dump two smaller disks) and add the standard SSD as my boot drive.  Since you said all of your SATA ports are currently in use.

Ok, unfortunately you are right :)
Can you recommend a card with 2 SATA slots, possibly on Amazon? The one who kindly advised me lepiaf37 costs almost 50 euros :(

Once again...  I want to bring the following to your attention. Only the x16 and x8 slots on the board have more than 1 PCIe lane available.  If you populate the x8 slot, it cuts the performance of your x16 (GPU) slot in half.

If you use a x1 SATA adapter card in a x1 slot, you have one lane for bandwidth.  If you connect only one disk, you will get 250-400mb/s.  If you connect 2 drives >- one lane = you will only get 1/2 this performance. 

This asmedia 1061 x1 card should work.  I would not connect my boot drive to this card.  The best performance would be if only one disk is connected.

At this point you are stretching the resources available on this platform to the extreme.  Good luck with your upgrade.
