Alright, thanks a lot, that did it!
I ended up making a LV with my two SSD then ran chown for MINTHDD, and now it's accessible and everything. I appreciate it, I know it's pretty basic knowledge but hey, now I've learned how to use some very handy commands, and I thank you for that.
I should clarify that I want to make the disc accessible without root, readable and writeable so that I can use it as both a backup and for mass storage. I though the 777 in that context makes it inaccessible to read and write? I don't know anything though, that's just something I saw in passing...
ran it again with sudo
sudo df -h
