HDD BIOS Recognition Issue--SATA Port Order?

Hey everyone,

I currently built a new rocketship with an FX-9370, 16GB of GSkill 2400 RAM from the approved vendor list, and a Crucial SSD. System installed fine without difficulties, and I have been adding pieces to the box slowly but surely.

Presently, I can get it to recognise one of my 2TB Seagate HDDs, but when I install a second 2TB Seagate HDD, the drives stop getting recognised in the BIOS. Is there a particular set of ports into which I should be connecting the drives so that they get recognised properly? I know it's not the drives individually (each works so long as I install only one at a time), and I don't think it's the individual SATA ports (as I've varied the installs with a single drive and they seem to recognise OK). However, when I have both Seagates installed, the BIOS picks up my Blu-Ray, my SSD, and either only one or none of the HDDs.

Thoughts?

Could you post up which SATA port you have your OS drive fitted to, and if you have this hassel with the Blu-Ray not connected?
