Are you sure you do not have more sata ports on the motherboard?  I would expect more than 2.  If you really don't have any more, you can purchase a PCI sata expansion card.  They seem to run from about 15.00 to 80.00.

What motherboard do you have?   Like Nomad said, most boards have 6 Sata ports or more. They might be in two different colors for the different controllers.
