Cheapest SATA cables?

[Guest]

Anybody can link me some cheap SATA power extension and SATA data cables (both preferably long as I will be wiring them outside of my case so I don't have to find a place to mount them, drive cage is full) and SATA data splitter (since I consumed all from my mobo). Canada. Local store (e.g. not online) is preferred.

I have a 500GB WD Blue that have no use (just sitting around)

 

The cheaper the better. Color of the cable does not matter but if I have to pay a tiny bit more I would get one that is not red or yellow. Black is fine.

Honestly I'd just head to Amazon and search for SATA cables and buy the cheapest you can find. SATA cables themselves aren't that expensive to begin with.

For something external, it's the better option.

I already have it..... want me to send a picture?

Multiple times. What the fuck does that have to do with running a 3.5" HDD outside of the PC though.

I'm talking about something like this:

Dude this is 30 dollars why would you do this when you can run a sata cable through a pci-e slot

A) The closest thing to a SATA splitter is a miniSAS to 4 SATA cable.

B) A decent PCIe AiC to add in additional SATA ports also costs ~$25-40.

Not like that like through the pcie slot hole

Did you even read the original post? Dex already said he used all the SATA ports on his mainboard.

Why don't you just buy a SATA expansion card?

Oh. Hot swap bays and a SATA card?

That'd be cost effective if he was adding in more than just one HDD.

But unless Dex can confirm that he has space for the bays and a PCIe AiC, I firmly stand by the suggestion of a relatively cheap, single bay enclosure. It'll route through USB (2.0 on the one I linked too, as well as eSATA), and happily lives without the need for additional space allocation within the case.

no more PCI E ports. So SATA splitter. Don't want SATA to USB

I don't really like using USB ports so SATA splitter?

Again, the best you'll get is either a SATA expansion card, or a MiniSAS expansion card (if they make them) and a MiniSAS to 4 SATA cable.

Alternatively, it's possible that your system has what is called eSATA.

so how about sata splitters. the one that splits sata into many other sata data

There aren't any that I can find. Also, I don't think your Asus board allows port multiplying.

Those don't exist. It's 1 port to 1 device. The best you'll get is either SATA add in card, or SAS add in card with the SAS to SATA cables.

 

Also, I found miniSAS cards, and man, they are fucking expensive.
