Motherboard has 2 SATA Data, but I need 3

[General_Cool]

Is there anything that I can do to use three SATA Data connectors with only two SATA Data ports? Maybe a connector, or adaptor? I really don't want to get a new motherboard.

One option would be to look for SATA port multipliers. They are a bit like a USB hubs or LAN switches for SATA.

Another possibility would be to use an external USB3 enclosure.

Assuming you have an open PCI-e slot, a PCI-e->SATA adapter.

No, if your motherboard only has 2 Sata ports then that's it. You could always connect an external drive via USB if it's just for keeping files like photo's, video's and such. But if it's meant for games and program's, I'd say a new motherboard is your only option.
