Answer #1
As long as you have a spare port to connect it to then it should be fine…
Wouldn’t affect performance and speed..
Answer #2
don’t forget if you have a old/cheap PSU and you’re using many power consuming hdd (cheap hardware comes with a prize too..) you might experience different problems
just mentioning it
Answer #3
Assuming .::. means sata ports you could also go for usb exter drive to store stuff on its slow compared to sata but good for storage
Answer #4
a sata expansion card (PCI express) has almost the same performance of on-board sata and they come at reasonable prices these days
Answer #5

Yeah ~$10
Anyway, my suggestion would be to open up and check your motherboard. You describe it as “the latest” which doesn’t really help.
Most mobos I’ve seen have 6 SATA ports on them, so I think you should. But remember about the PSU as xerox said
