Hello,

Can any one tell me how to daisy chain SATA drives together. For example SCSI drives had a SCSI cable that had multiple connectors on it and you could run multiple drives of the single cable with different drive number same was true for IDE you had a Master and slave and they were connected onto a single cable using one IDE port. From what I have seen of SATA drives there is one connector on the drive that is connected via SATA cable to the SATA port on the Motherboard. How is this a serial configuration if you need to have seperate ports available for each drive? Is there a reason why the SATA drives dont have a in and out port so you go from the MB to in on the 1st drive then from the out on the 1st drive to in on the 2nd drive etc.

SATA was meant to be a step forward am I missing something?
