D dieferbiefer New Member Feb 23, 2008 #1 I have a sata drive that I would like to use but mother board doesn't have a sata connector on it, can I make a cable to go from sata to usb? I have a usb cable, sata cable, and I know how to solder. Can anyone help please?

You could put the hard drive into a case that contains a converter for sata to usb such as this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817173046 Or you can by a pci expansion card that has sata ports on it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124006
