Clean up. "Question about" in the title is redundant. All questions are questions about something.

No, that's not a solution at all, since you can't multiplex (not realistically) a SATA data cable. So, do what everyone else would: do it in software. If this is about boot order (I bet it's about boot order), UEFI makes that easy since... 20 years now. You can select from which device the computer boots the next time. | |
