I have a question about installing the Slot 1 Adapter with SATA ports on my desktop, HP Omen 870-119. I am planning to install the second SSD drive in my desktop and did not realize that there are only 3 SATA ports on my motherboard. So I decided to get SLOT 1 Adapter to be installed on my motherboard. What I will do is to unplug the SATA Cable Ultra DVD burner drive from the motherboard so I can connect the SATA cable for the second SSD to motherboard. The Ultra DVD burner drive SATA cable will connect to SLOT 1 Adapter. I know I have to plug the molex cable from the power supply to second SSD as well. Now will that work with this to unplug the SATA cable for the DVD burner drive and plug in the second SSD Drive SATA cable on the motherboard? Then I will plug the DVD burner drive cable to SLOT 1 adapter.
Please let me know about this.
Thank you,
John

Never seen a Slot 1 Adapter with Sata ports, do you have a pic or link to the device?
Slot 1 Adapters were always known as Slockets in my day and were for CPUs.

This is just a expansion card to give you more SATA Ports and should work fine.

Yeah the correct term is a pic-e x1 expansion card

Whether or not your burner software will work correctly this way I'm not sure, you will have to try it and see, but the power to feed the optical drive should be fine.
I'm assuming that your optical drive is staying in its bay and you are adding the SSD into a extra drive space in / on the case of the desktop, otherwise you'll have to keep the case open to run the DVD drive.
