@CheguApis,

You should be able to install at least three drives on your desktop. Not sure if you would benefit from having four drives, install large capacity drives and you wouldn't need four drives.

Anyway, whatever your secondary and tertiary drives are (SSD &/or HDD) your boot drive definitely should be a solid state drive (SSD) in order to take advantage of the much faster data transfer/booting capabilities of an SSD.

Now, with regard to your question of your PC not detecting your third drive, please follow this easy tutorial which most likely will resolve your issue: Windows 10 - How to Activate New Hard Drives and SSD’s Not Showing Up - YouTube.

Hope this helps.
