So I'm thinking of doing a mini ITX build since I travel so much. Problem is, the case I'm thinking of getting has an ODD slot able to fit my USB 3.0 SD card reader bay, which has two USB 3.0 ports. Since the case has 2 USB 3.0 ports as well, this is where normal people get a PCIe adapter to be able to have 4 slots. However on an ITX, the only PCIe slot is the x16 for the GPU.
I came about to thinking "how can I get this usb 3.0 into the motherboard at full speed," and looking at connections, I focused on SATA. Is this a legit method?
1.) Plug bay into this Female to Male
2.) Plug that into this USB 3.0 to dual SATA
3.) Plug two SATA cables from that into my motherboard
Does that even work? This whole project is starting to confuse the hell out of me lol
