Greetings fellow builders.
I am fairly new to building PC and last night I finally grew a pair and build my PC myself for the first time. There were moments I didn't knew what I was doing. Took me about 6 hours to put it all together. It all worked in the end. Lots of youtube videos!!
Here are the details ( I pulled out some of the parts from my older PC )
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~4.2GHz
Motherboard: Asus Maximus Hero IX
Ram: Vengence 32Gigs.
Video Card : GTX 980 Strix
PSU - Cooler Master 850
OS: Windows 10 Home edition
HDD: WD Cavier Black 1TB, WD Regular 500GB ( Pulled out these two drives from my older system)
SSD: 950 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD (My Windows are installed on this SSD)
Cd Drive: LG Blu-Ray Drive.
MY PROBLEM:
My BlueRay Drive (Lets call it BD) wont get detected in the windows. It wasn't just showing up. I thought it might be the sata Cable. So i swap the cable with a new one... Still nothing. it didn't work.
I rebooted my PC went to BIOS and the BD wasn't showing up in there either. I went to boot menu and tried to see if it was available in the boot options.. No luck
I later swapped my Sata cable for Blu-Ray from SLot 6 to Slot4 and it works right away and Windows detected my Blu-ray.
I also tried to plug in my HDD ( Cavier Black ) in to slot 5 ( Sata) It didn't detect my HDD either.
Now before you read further. Let me tell you.. I have a very bad knowledge about sata connectors. I dont know what Raid is and what IDE is.
Here are the photos of my connections on the boards

My question is
A - Why is this happening?
B - Should I be worried that my Sata port 5 and 6 are bad? and I should get my board replaced?
I read some posts and they suggested that optical drives should be connected to slot 5. But this isnt working for me. I am scared that my mother boards if bad and the fact that my HDD was also not detected in slot 5 makes me worried even more.
Please advice what I should do or if there is a way to detect a faulty Sata port.
Kind Regards
I am open to Discussion. If you need anymore information or photos. I'll be more than happy to share. Just ask
