Does this cable exist?

I need Sata data to internal USB header. I need to free up a sata port so that I can use my last PCIe slot. The blue ray drive can't be powered off a usb port so I cant use one that has both sata power and data. I can find $30+ cables that have an external USB but I don't wanna go that route if I don't need to.

I believe you need something to convert the signals, so if there is a cable(just a cable) like that, it's a scam.

It can be done, but it will be jank-as-hell™

 

Use one of these....

 

And one of these....

 

And fianlly, one of these....

 

That should get your drive powered, and cabled internally. Like I said. Jank.

Oh yeah idk why I completely forgot about that. 

You could run a SATA power cable from inside the case into the Blu-Ray drive for power. I assume you don't have any more SATA ports? 
This is loads easier if you have eSATA or powered eSATA.

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

I meant that I need to free up a sata port, not a usb port lol. 2 sata ports are on a switch with my last pcie slot, which i want to use for a network adapter

That is a little too jank for me, though I appreciate the effort in finding it lol.

You can buy external optical drive enclosures that plug into a USB port, and use power directly from mains.

i want the internal drive, not really for any practical reasons I just like having one on the front of my pc. I'll probably just end up using a usb ethernet adapter for my other usecase

do you have a free m.2 port you can get sata for that i do bleave. there problly usb 3 to sata too.

 

i would think a usb 3.0 to sata and a usb 3.0 to internal usb would be the cheapest.

 

there might be a pcie ethernet with sata but i dont no...

 

you could add a sata port in an m.2

 

you could get a 2x m.2 pcie and get a sata to m.2 and a ethernet to m.2 but i mean...🤷‍♂️

 

there are pcie splitors but there mostly external and you hate things external...

 

repalce mb with more sata /pcie slots...

 

there also a m.2 slot to pcie slot...

I have dyslexia plz be kind to me. dont like my post dont read it or respond thx

also i edit post alot because you no why...
