Hardware Would this allow me to connect multiple 2.5 / 3.5 sata drives to pc

[magicalbeef]

As per title I've got a few spare drives I'd like to connect together and connect them to my pc so I could access them all rather to swap them.around. if not this then does anyone have any other ideas? Tia guys

first check and see how many spare ports you have on the motherboard. some have up to 6 or 8 connectors for Hard drives some have 2

let us know what free slots you have and if none do you have any PCI slots spare

I think he wants to daisychain multiple sata drives, and the answer is you can't @magicalbeef. You need a seperate sata socket, or usb port for each drive.

why do you think he wants to daisy chain them the lead shown is only for power

In post 1 he says, I've got a few spare drives I'd like to connect together and connect them to my pc so I could access them all rather to swap them.around.

I'm not sure if it is what you are after @magicalbeef, but would this work for you?

you can connect them together with Windows to show them as one drive space so 4 x 1tb can be shown as one 4 tb space

Bit more info on your setup @magicalbeef

Check your motherboard and see if it has 4 - 6 sata ports

If you don't know your motherboard download Speccy and will tell you

And your pc case has it 4 3.5 hard drive bays to slap in ?
