Four SATA Hard Drives, Only 2 SATA Ports...

[karling07]

Ok so I have four SATA HDs from storage and theyre all nice 80Gigs 7200RPM and they all work fine. But my mobo only has two SATA ports... So is it possible to "split" these ports or something so I can use all 4?

Thanks

Might need an SATAII or pci-e depending on what you are using.

You have to get a controller card for it.

Here's a PCI-E card.

yeah, controller cards sound right, my uncle had one laying around and he told me what they do (this was a while ago when i wasnt as knowledgable about computers)
