Hi,
Got an old Pentium 3 dual core pc sitting in a huge tower so gonna turn it into a file server. Now I havn't joined lots of HDDs together before. Here is my understanding please correct me if i am wrong.
Now I havn't taken a good look but if it has 2 IDE connectors on the board then I can attach 2 hdds to each connector right? As the IDE cables come with a master and a slave?? Can I connect more HDDs or am I limited becuase of the 2 connectors and the IDE leads?
I am also going to be putting in a PCI SATA card so I can have 2-4 SATA drives is there going to be any problems with this, ie conflicts with the IDE drives etc.
Any advice welcome.
Thx
EDIT: Forgot to mention it also has a SCSI connector and I have a 18gb 10k drive any problems with connecting that too?
