While my MB has built-in SATA I use a kit from AcomData. The
Drive is a WDC 250 Gigabyte and the kit provides a PCI add-in
card, Cables. The card provides two external drives to be used.

I've been very happy with mine as expansion space for my PC.

*Previously you could find these at CompUSA stores but now that
they are closing 160+ stores I'm not sure where to find a kit.

I know this is not a hardware N.G. but there are a lot of savvy people
here.

Assuming one has a decent computer without a SATA interface or an extended
pci slot, does anyone know of a SATA upgrade adaptor that works?
