i don't mean to burst your bubble, but it's not gonna work. if it did work like that, pc motherboard makers wouldn't need to add costs to their motherboard by adding additional sata controllers that are external to motherbord chipset (north/south bridge). It's not like a usb port where you can have 127 devices to one port. and even if you don't blow up your ps3 or both your hard drives; how do you think the ps3 will decide which hard drive to talk to? It talks to the device attached to the port... it's not gonna talk to both drives. at best, each drive will be given the same commands - will read and write the same data. I say 95% chance you blow up your ps3 or kill the sata port. some stuff for you to read: http://www.ata-atapi.com/sata.htm Quote:
SATA stuff can be found here: https://www.sata-io.org/secure/spec_download.asp but you need to buy the specifications if you want to read them. Good luck on your experiment

Well I actually know the details of PATA and SATA, its like a fused drive project for the ps3. Its been done on the computer already. I forget the company name but they put two 250gb hardrives in on ext. case and fused their data flow to use one SATA cable. I'm just trying to replicate on the PS3. My main obstacle to overcome is whether it will recognize drive a or b, but not both together. Thanks for trying to spread the info though, anyone else reading the thread wondering what the difference is can now know. The Idea is it will be recognized as One drive, and two partitions on Linux and to experiment as to how this can be applied to ps3 os.
