Running IDE device from SATA port

[Participant]

When I get my DS3 I'll have the following:

- 2 SATA drives
- 2 IDE drives
- 2 optical IDE devices

How can I accommodate all these devices into a board that only supports 2 IDE devices, is there a way?

I plan to use the SATA drives in RAID 0 for OS and games and the IDE drives for backup and storage of non-speed dependent data e.g. music, films, downloaded files.

Probably the best way is to get something like the Highpoint Rocket133S 1-Port ATA Host Adaptor from OcUK(it is out of stock at the moment) and that will let you use your IDE devices as it is a PCI IDE controller. You might also be able to get adapters along the lines of the Abit Serielle but I think that is SATA to IDE not the other way round.
