I don't know if it affects F18, but when I put my wife on F17 with two
SATA drives, it turned out that there was some kind of RAID built into
the board.  If I plugged the second drive into one port, it was seen as
the second drive of the raid.  Plugging into a different one, it was
picked up as a real second drive.  This is also one of those UEFI mother
boards.  

Boy did I long for the good old days of cable selection and master/slave
settings.  Documentation seems gone, and Video's do not give you time to
re-read and compare different views easily.  This motherboard came with
a video, but it only illustrated a simple setup with one hard drive and
Windows.  

Sorry, I do not remember the mobo mfr or the model.  I'll get it when
she comes back this evening, just in case that helps.
