1. If your motherboard has 4 sata connectors and your power supply has only 2 power cables. How would you power 2 more drives?

2. For a pci express to sata card does it matter what slot type you use 16x, 8x, 4x etc.

thanks

1. Use a molex -> sata adapter. They're pretty cheap.
2. Use one of the first two slots, either 16x or 8x.
