I have a little project going and could use a little help. What I'd like to do is take an old dvd copier case I have and use it as a hdd hub. The case has a good PS with 6 sata power outs, good ventilation, mounting brackets for the drives, etc.
The idea is to use the case and PS to house and supply the HDDs, while routing the data to the PC via USB. I thought I'd use a USB hub and then just do a p'n'p. The roadblock is I can't seem to find a good way to go from SATA to USB. I know adapters exist, but they are either plugs that include data/power or feature long cables like you see here:

Does anyone know the name of the part or a place to order a direct sata to USB convertor plug? I don't need pata or ide, nor do I need any length of USB. I'm hoping for a direct adapter plug.
Or could someone give an alternative option?
