No.
At best, you'd be able to access one drive at a time.
Doubtful this would even work.

Simple answer, you cannot split SATA up like that. That looks to be a SAS breakout cable that supports multiple drives. In the server world it is very common to connect lots of drives to one port, but those are usually special RAID or SAS cards.

If you need to add drives, look into a PCI Express SATA card.

This card would probably serve you well. Stay away from raid cards, especially cheep raid cards. Lastly, you can find nice used cards on ebay.

The splitter he posted works fine, but not for standard SATA motherboards, hence the SFF-8087 connector.

Thanks for the help for some reason I never got a notification saying anyone replied.

When looking at pci cards what should I look for I know sata III also new vs old. Can't a older card corrupt data if it brakes so new is best. And what is a good new and used price guess 40 for new
