Adding more HDD's

[ElementalCrisis]

Hello everyone, lately i've been thinking of adding more hardrives but i've run into 1 small problem. My motherboard has 2 IDE slots, 1 which is being used for my Burners and the other for the 2 hardrives I already have.

How would I go about adding more hardrives? And also what is S-ATA, is it better then IDE?

Does ur mobo support sata hdd´s? If it does, then u could put a sata hdd in there, if it doesn't then u could always take 1 cd/dvd drive off and use the IDE cable from it. That's all I can think off.

And sata is kinda like a newer version of IDE. The biggest differences are that sata is faster (so yes, it's better) and u have to install sata drivers so that the mobo will recognize the hdd.

Yeah, check for SATA headers on that motherboard. If you don't, then you'll have to get an IDE expansion card in your case to add more hard drives.
