Adding More IDE Ports In Computer

Recommended Posts

Greetings, Happy New Year,

So can I use this ATA controller card just for IDE slot "expansion"?

Yes, it should work fine.

The Barracuda 7200.9 PATA models are one of the latest series on the market; the performance of your 120GB model is basically the same as the 400GB model, only with less capacity so you should be happy with it.

hardrive questions

Adding More IDE Ports In Computer

 

I have multiple hardrives I have collected. I want to put them all in the same case so to speak, I've seen 8bay hardrive usb enclosures, & it doesn't look all that hard to build one. But the problem I thinking of is the bridgeboard. I can build a custom case & add the approiate power supply, but the hd enclosure case I'm using as a model to build from, I can't see how the board is built, I know it goes from the hardrive, to a board then converts to usb, & then the usb plugs into your computer. The one I saw is @ cyberguys.Com. I know it has 4 ide cables plugged into this board, it also had other pictures to see more than just 1 pic, but it doesn't say who makes it. I want to built a custom board to handle as many hardrives I want, I know I have more than 8 hd's, so if any body can give me the 411 on where to search on how one looks like (the bridge board), or where I might be able to buy one so I can try & custom build a board myself, all help will appreciated. Please send any info to dallasdawg1119@hotmail.Com
