Yes any of the above will work.

I still use some old PATA drives that way, not very convenient but it gets the job done.

No, it is not possible to directly connect two PATA (Parallel ATA) hard drives to a SATA (Serial ATA)-only motherboard or PC without using additional hardware. PATA and SATA are different interfaces with incompatible connectors and signal protocols. To connect PATA hard drives to a SATA motherboard, you would need an adapter or bridge that can convert the PATA signals to SATA signals. These adapters are sometimes available, but they may not be very common or convenient, and they might not offer optimal performance. It's generally recommended to use SATA drives with a SATA motherboard for better compatibility & performance.

However, there are some potential solutions to connect PATA drives to a SATA-only motherboard, but they may require additional hardware:
