Please stop what you are doing/thinking about...
Just plug it in with a hard drive or SSD, not anything else.

Ok thanks bro

I think each motherboad would run the os separately

If you can even electrically do this, it will end bad for you. Like Suztera said, stop and think about what you are planning. You potentially could have two different MBs with two different OSes each thinking it was the sole owner of the drive. This means that each OS is free to put information anywhere on the drive because it is managing that device and knows enough not step on itself. However when you add in a second system that does not know about the first system, nor does it coordinate drive operations with it, you are going to get fatal corruptions in your file system. If this happens in your swap space then you are also going to be swapping the wrong RAM image back into main memory leading to crashes and BSODs.

Don't do this.

Do they even have SATA splitters? I have no idea how you could hook one drive up to two different boards.

Can you link one? I'm curious as to what you were looking at. Doing a search online I can only find SATA power splitters, and a data splitter for SAS drives. I didn't see any SATA data splitters.
