Hi,
I'm searching for a way to have 2 sata device connected on one sata port. I need all my 10 sata port and I'm really annoyed to loose 2 for 2 devices I rarely use.
Both devices won't be used and powered at the same time!
I know sata is one port one device. I know there are port multiplier(which aren't very recommended from what I read). I already have a pci-e sata controler and don't want to change or add another one ($$).
I want to share one port between a dvd burner(used a few times a year) and a hot swap bay (used 3 times a year). And yes I'm too lazy to open my case and swap the sata data cable .
So does a sata "Y" cable exist somewhere? Or something like it...
Thank you!
