Ok so im working with an ITX motherboard and Im using a 1tb hard drive and 120gb ssd. I only have 2 SATA ports and I want to get a second SSD.
I've considered going away with the hard drive but I just need all the storage and a 500-1tb SSD is way too much money.
So my question is, is it possible to get a cable to plug an internal drive into the external eSata port on my motherboard and leave it plugged in and running all the time. I would have my two 120gb SSD's plugged into the SATA 3 ports and the hard drive in the external port. With success I would then just cut out a spot on the back of my case to send the cable in and leave the hard drive inside the PC with the cable coming in from the external spot.
