inconnu1405241515 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2006 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.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 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.
