Hi,

 

I can't find much useful data on your PC's chipset because it is a Windows XP or Vista era PC.

 

Did you check the MB for open SATA connections?

 

You might be able to get a PCIe to SATA adapter to add more SATA drives.

 

This is all I can offer.

 

Regards

Hi,

 

Check Amazon, NewEgg, or other online sites for a SATA power splitter cable. You would need a male to two female adapter.

 

This should work if you have open SATA data ports on the motherboard. You would also need a PCIe to SATA adapter for data if you don't have open MB SATA data ports.
