No, YOU are trying. I have succeeded.

You need to re-read what you wrote then, your grasp of
english seems to need a bit more polish.


Hell, I have SATA hot swappable
peripheral drives that were easier to implement than the hell you are
putting yourself through.

Oh, you mean you bought something as an end-user, and claim
that's knowledge, but you still can't wrap your head around
soldering a mere connector onto a PCB.

It's quite ridiculous. This is a very simple soldering job
that you've blown out of proportion. Ok, you made a mistake
underestimating the ability of people who have held a
soldering iron. That part was not such a big deal but
continuing to insist you are right contrary to common sense?
It's just amazing.

By the time you are done, you could put an NAS
box on the net, and all your MOBOs suddenly no longer need your stupid
retro-fit.

Did the OP claim the goal was a NAS box on the net? If not,
you have become terribly confused somewhere. Besides that,
if the chipset supported the addt'l ports, and once the OP
had the needed capacitors, it was a 4 to 10 minute job. If
you can build a NAS and get it on the net in that amount of
time, it's only because it was 90% done already.


I sure hope you are not drawing a salary for sitting there with your
thumb up your ass wondering about buying parts to add an SATA port to a
MOBO.

Actually, many of us do this as a hobby and have spare parts
lying around. It takes about 45 seconds to pull an SATA
port off an old board if one has a hot air gun or even using
crude methods like a pencil torch held at a distance... or
of course, some of us even place orders at electronics
supply houses periodically so adding this to the list is a
fairly routine thing, not worth even mentioning as it's as
common as tying one's shoes in the morning.


My god, how retarded can your employer be?!!! I have farts floating
around the room with more brains than you have.

It's always nice to know exactly what you spend your time
thinking about, but you might consider getting an air
freshener and taking your meds.
