I updated the bios, no change. I tried swapping the dvd with the SSD, no change. I didnt find whether it looked at sata6_2 or sata 3_*, I just saw the SSD & dvd at the bottom, in a "choose what to read first" row. I think.
EDIT: I dont know if it's important, but I cant enter the bios settings the first time the Asus screen pops up. Only after it says "No device found!", and the second time the Asus screen pops up can I actually go to bios-settings.
From reading your posts, it doesn't seem that the error is relating to your SSD in any way. If it was, the error would be more specific to "No boot device detected." My assumption is that your computer is expecting a device that it was told it was getting, but isn't actually getting said device. Check your BIOS for any settings on devices that might be attached to the motherboard. Also, what exactly are you plugging into your computer (beyond the CD drive and SSD)?
"No device detected" is a very generic error, and could mean anything from fans to some third-party hardware. It however should not mean anything related to boot devices, CPUs, GPUs, or RAM. Those all should have specific errors to themselves. Again though, they should doesn't necessarily mean they do.
Also, it does not matter what SATA port you plug your devices in. If they are showing up in your BIOS, they have been detected. The only difference is the speed at which some ports run.
Your question on being unable to enter the BIOS on the first flash screen is normal. The computer most likely hasn't finished checking everything yet, and when the second screen pops up it is ready for input.
