Product: Z440

Hi folks. I'm new here

I'll be receiving a refurbished 32gb ram Z440 later this week. In addition to the installed SSD and HDD I will need to install another SSD and maybe 2 more HDDs. I believe that the Z440 comes with (4?) sSata ports on the motherboard. Can anyone suggest how best to add my extra drives and what I'll need please? Thanks in advance for your replies.

This is the computer:

And this is the motherboard:

It says that it has 4 sSATA ports, in addition to the 2 SATA ports connecting the two drives already installed. I'm assuming that I can connect some of my old drives to these sSata ports, but haven't come across sSata before, and am also not sure how the drives would be powered. I think it's also showing 2 empty drive bays, so that the drives can be connected internally.
