To forestall some responces here's my current situation
Mini-ITX build, I only have 2 sata ports and no spare pci-e slots and no pci slots.
What I want is 2 hard drives and a dvdr/w
I do have a spare usb header, so what I'm thinking is to hook the dvd up via some form of adaptor to the usb and run two hard drives off the two sata ports.
The problem I'm having is in finding something
The cloest I've found so far is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-Int.../dp/B003GS8YVU which is for a slim dvd, the one I'm using is a 5.25"
Ideally I just need a data adaptor as power can come from the psu.
I've looked at a couple of the extrenal usb to sata adaptors, those generally include power via the usb so can be used for low power 2.5" drives/slim line optical and they are quite bulky (stick out too far)
Has anyone seen such a thing as an internal usb header to sata data adaptor?
