so, i recently pulled a hard drive out of an old computer so i could use it, but i don't have any sata ports left...

my motherboard has 4 ports, 2 of which are being blocked by my graphics card, 1 used by my disk drive and 1 for the hard drive i use.

is there a thing i can get that can make 2 sata ports out of 1? because i need more storage :(
