Hello Peoples
I have 3 HDD's and 2 SSD's and a DVD drive, that all 6 of my SATA ports taken. I have also filled up all my expansion bays with two GPU's and a Sound card so a SATA PCI card is out of the question.
For a couple of weeks now i've been wondering how to add another HDD. Today i have had a brain wave. My mobo has a E-SATA port on the back.
My Question's:
Can i pipe a E-SATA to SATA cable through my case and plug it into the HDD?
Will it be a stable connection with no 'drop outs'? (or more than normal)
Will this cable do the trick?
