Anyone around this?

Anyway around this?

I have 5 SATA devices including a SATA DVD.

I want to add two more SATA drives but only have enough ports for 6 devices.

I'd rather not spend anything else e.g. add in cards.

Any suggestions welcome!

i think its mission impossible without spending any money

tis impossible without some sort of add on card with internal sata ports, a pci card perhaps...

Use a USB enclosure with something if you have one?

surely you have an old ide writer lying around, change the sata over for that!! Sorted no monies spent

Tough.

Or as mentioned previously. Unless you have the gear lying around, or can blag a freebie, then you have zero chance im afraid.
