My question is ;
Which connection should ı use for my third HDD.

I am already sory for my english.Please help.

My HDD connections are;
Intel® Z77 Express Chipset:
- 2 x Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (gray) They are connected to my 500 GB adnd 1TB HDD

- 4 x Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (blue) There are empty
Marvell® PCIe SATA 6Gb/s controller**:
- 1 x eSATA port at the back I/O (6.0 Gb/s ready)
- 1 x Serial ATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (navy blue) I tired this one.Doesnt work
 
Solution
The Marvell SATA ports may be disabled in BIOS, or the drivers aren't installed. Those drivers will be on the motherboard's installation CD or available from the motherboard's support website for download.

But I'd recommend you use the SATA-II ports for direct access into Intel's memory controller rather than using two different controllers.
