SATA

- I don't find any of such cables, and the discussions on the web revolve around SATA being point-to-point and not designed for networked or shared storage.
However, if one'd build a cable that is just a passive Y cable where only one computer accesses a disk at a time, then is there a technical reason that prohibits such cable from working?
