Question SATA Y Data Cable

[Starnet]

Does anyone know or have recently stumbled across a Sata Y Data cable (not the power one)
I currently have an SSD/HDD duplicator that uses a really crappy and cheap drive assembly. Since its arranged where it actually shares the connector with both drives it only require a single power/data connector.
I want to swap it out with a much better Kingwin one that has a separate connector for the SSD and HDD. Since I know I would only be using one drive type at a time I need a Y cable for the Sata Data port. So far my searches have turned up nothing. Short of making my own cable or somehow connecting the ports together I am drawing a blank.

Any suggestions?

Y-cable for SATA data, impossible. Y-cable for SATA data cable, yes they exist but you might want to look up how adapters are the primary reason for firestarters.

You should look for a reliably built drive dock.

What are you actually wanting to do?

Not 'attach with a Y cable', but rather the basic function you are looking to do.

What is the difference between "Y-cable for SATA data" and "Y-cable for SATA data cable"? There's no way for the data port to be split to two different drives. There's only one signal. SATA does have the capability, technically, to connect to a hub but it was never really implemented. Maybe that's what OP has? Model information would be useful here.

The replacement dock has a sata data connector for both the SSD and HDD bays, since there will never be a device in both bays at the same time I need the sata data to appear on both ports, thus the need for a Y cable.

Probably meant power for the second based on the fire comment.

You're asking for something that simply doesn't exist and never could.
