Hi guys, need some help after buying a new SATA DVD burner to replace an old broken IDE burner and now finding out that all my 3 sata ports are already in use as I assumed I had 4
Can you buy such a thing as a PCI card (not PCI-E) that has at least 2 USB external ports and a single internal SATA port which I could use to connect my new burner?
The only card I could remove from my PC is a PCI adapter card that has 4 USB 2.0 ports on it. The problem is I still need at least 2 of those ports for my external hard drives and can't figure out any other way of fitting my new SATA DVD burner when all 3 of my SATA ports are being used by my 3 internal HDD's
I'd REALLY appreciate any help or ideas on what component or adapter I can buy that means I'll be able to connect my new SATA device.
Big thanks in advance.
