I'm using a Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5 motherboard.

I have Sata 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ports. Which do I hook my SSD (OS) drive to? Which do I hook my HDD (Storage) to? and which one do I hook my Blu-Ray burner to? My motherboard book doesn't tell me. It would work best cable wise if I could use:

Sata 0 or 1 for my SSD
Sata 2 for my HDD
Sata 3 for my Blu-Ray burner.

Thanks

Shouldn't actually matter, provided you install your OS to the SSD, ensure your boot order has the SSD as priority #1 and configure appropriate drive letters in Windows for the HDD and BR.

That being said, preferably go with:
0 = SSD
1 = HDD
2 = BluRay.
