So, First thing is first i have the MSI 970A-G46 mother board, now, this has 6 sata ports on it, and due to a.....hickkup, the original 5-1 e/power sata cable i had, is now gone, meaning that now i must connect all my drives directly to the motherboard, this isnt a problem ,but if i can minimize sata port usage, i'd like to. Now, i purchased a 5-1 sata multipler from ebay.

to be exact. Now, i learned that most mobo's have to have a particular setting enabled to allow this as an option, and mine happens to be one, as seen here

my motherboard has sata made by amd (sb950)

So, my main question, where can i go to enable this setting? i have one of those " click bios" deals so it's probably hidden somewhere, i am ALSO open to alternatives if someone has one worth mentioning, thanks in advance!

honestly, i didnt know about these until way to late, and i agree, that that is probably the best bet, kinda sucks because now i have this little board that does nothing, but ill find some use for it im sure, thanks anyway!
