    Dear Forum Members,

    I would like to kindly ask a general question, what can I do in a situation when I lack the SATA sockets on the motherboard, I have been looking for a long time on the Internet for a SATA data cable splitter, but I found only the power supply. Are there generally SATA cable splitters for data transient?

    As an alternative I thought of https://www.morele.net/kontroler-i-tec-2xsata-2xsata-pce2sata-747371/
    I-TEC 2xSATA + 2xSATA controller (PCE2SATA)

    I'm just not sure if it requires rudders if it wouldn't be possible to load the system from the disk. Hence the question, am I right or am I wrong?

    Finally, I would like to kindly ask for other alternatives that come to your mind.

    Thank you in advance for your answers and interest ;)

    No.

    First of all, you need to look for a boot controller and secondly, during the installation of the system, you need to provide drivers for the device, or integrate them using n-lite.

    There is nothing like that.

    Enter motherboard model ?!
    How many SATA devices are to be connected in total?
    You must be able to boot from any device ?!
    What exactly are the disks connected to?
    What drives do you want to connect?

    For now, the author did not reveal the secret of the motherboard, so if you think it makes no sense.

    Hello.
    I will connect to the topic. I'm also interested in the possibility of an additional SATA II socket.
    I have a GigaByte GA-M61SME-S2L motherboard. It has 2 SATA II sockets and both are used. I need to connect a third internal device (DVD recorder). Apparently there are PCI to SATA adapters or USB to SATA adapters. Please let me know which adapter I can use and whether it is possible at all.
    greetings

    The answer has already been given. Buy any PCI SATA controller and that's it in the subject.

    The safest and most efficient will be an additional controller in the form of a PCI card.
    Even more efficient were the controller on PCI Express, your motherboard has such a connector.
    They come out similarly priced.

    USB is an inefficient makeshift if it has to be internally.

    It is the author who knows what graphics card he has and whether the controller will fit.
    Ew always remain of all sorts so-called risers.
    I think it's worth thinking about it.
    Prices for PCIE and PCI controllers are similar.
    PCIE is faster and future-proof ;)
    As if the new equipment lacked SATA ports, which I doubtfully doubt, but let's assume.

    And seriously so ...
    People still use recorders ?! ;)

    Now I realized that there are 2 "authors" and a dug up topic :D

    I don't want to be a bad prophet, but not all Raid SATA controllers (whether on PCI / PCI-express) have the ability to work with non-disk drives.

    That's right, but one hard drive can be connected to an additional controller and an optical drive to the motherboard.

    Hello ! :)

    I'm connecting to the topic. - same problem with too few SATA connectors.

    I expanded the GA-M52LT-D3 with an SSD drive, leaving a second SATA to satry drive.
    I have now bought my son GTA5 and I have no connection between the recorder and the disc to install the game (7 discs).

    The problem is that the PCI controller you proposed -> SATA is no longer available on my ALL portal ... O: /

    Where to buy or are there better solutions, e.g. via USB?

    But I can't even locate this PCI-E connector.
    I mean, I see them on the board with two pci-e x1 connectors right below connected to the pci-e x16
    but on all ... I found only this:
    Gembird CC-PSU-SATA, adapter with SATA [M] for PCI-E 6-pin [F] 20cm
    :(

    Help me solve this case as cheaply as possible without having to set up a steam account: /

    And great :)
    Indeed, the cheapest option in hardware :)
    You did it :)

    Thanks a lot ;)

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the need for additional SATA slots for connecting drives due to a lack of available SATA ports on the motherboard. Users suggest that SATA data cable splitters do not exist, and instead recommend using a PCI or PCI Express SATA controller to add more SATA connections. The I-TEC 2xSATA + 2xSATA controller is mentioned as a potential solution, but concerns are raised about its compatibility for booting the system. Users emphasize the importance of ensuring the controller supports the intended drives, particularly optical drives, and suggest checking motherboard specifications for compatibility. Alternatives such as USB to SATA adapters are discussed, but PCI controllers are preferred for internal connections. Specific controllers like the SIL3114 are recommended, along with links to purchase options.
