You don't need to remove any capacitors or any other components if you can find the reset pin of the USB-SATA bridge IC.

Locating the Reset* pin on USB-SATA bridge ICs:

How do you use the reset pin? 

Solder a wire?

Ground or hot?

Solder a wire from Reset* to ground. That normally drives all the I/O pins into the Hi-Z (high impedance) state. That makes them look like open circuits.

Nice!

This can be really good for saving the original board functional state

but: where do you get the IC's pins scheme?

I have posted all the datasheets I have been able to find. For those ICs whose datasheets are unavailable, I would look for a resistor-capacitor combination.
