I already have two internal hard drives and I wish to add a third internal hard drive. With SATA can you slave off the hard drive like you use to do with IDE or do I have to buy a card that will plug into one of my PCI slots (I don't have PCI Express)?
-Insert the SATA drive into a bay..
-Plug the HDD SATA cable into a SATA port on the motherboard
-Attach the power to the HDD.
-Turn computer on, done.
I'm out of motherboard SATA ports. Any recommendations on PCI cards? Also, I would like to use the two 5 1/2" slots in my case for removable SATA hard drives. Any recommendations for a high quality unit?
