    Could I use a slimline sata port for something else besides an optical drive/ssd?

    Since I have been looking for hours, I doubt that i could use it for anything but the dvd drive or a secondary storage unit. But, I thought I would try to ask before giving up. I'm just curious as to whether or not I would be able to use my laptop's slimline sata port (unused optical drive)...

    not being able to boot up certainly eliminates that lol. I have 2x1gb sticks but i dont know if they work either. I've had this z77 pro3 mobo for almost a year, would Asrock replace it?
