Hello, I'm building my first pc and I just got my motherboard, i got really excited and put it in my case. Well I noticed that it only has 2 SATA ports and that's a problem for me because I was going to have an optical drive, a 1 TB hard drive (mass storage), and a SSD (OS).

Is there like a SATA cable spliiter so I can use both the SSD and hard drive at the same time? Will my motherboard be able to handle it? Or did I just pull the biggest noob mistake ever?

If there is a splitter, can you recommend one?

Thanks, if you would have never said about the 4 facing out, I would have never probably saw them.
