Load Google Translate Can you connect multi hard drives to one SATA data cable like IDE? I would like to build a Multi drive enclosure to hold both 3.5 & 2.5 inch drives with at least 3 bays of each.
You can if you use a Port Multiplier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_multiplier

Also you need to have a host adapter that supports port multiplying.
