First a USB 3.0 Header to USB 3.0 Connection

Followed by a USB 3.0 to Sata Adapter

It wont look very good but it will get the job done
Hmm? How does this connection work? Didn't see it before...

Every 2 USB ports are connected to a USB header, be it 1.0,2.0 or 3.0, A USB header is where the connection between every USB port Takes place (except the original ones in the back of the Mobo)

so basicly it is like plugging a internal HDD through a USB cable.Using the adapter I uploaded, The header will split up into 2 usb ports, which another adapter turns a single port into a SATA connection and then you can plug your HDD in

the PCIE one is much neater, but will need a PCIE slot that isnt being used (the small one) basicly it turns the pcie output into 1or2 SATA inputs, this is essencialy like adding another 2 SATA connections to your motherboard, just in another part of it

Oh, I see. But I did heard that my friend said it can be made to 4 connection? Or am I hearing it wrong? Anyway, is it possible to make one cable to connect up to so much hard disk?

Well, some of the things you mention here I cannot get it in Malaysia, need to be import from other country. So I cannot use it. I already ask my friend that build the PC for me, I mean his kind of like always help me to do computer things so I'll ask him any of these too before buying it.
