I want to add more hard drives to one of my old computers since I have a pile of them laying around (different makes, sizes, speeds) & Make MP3's available to my son. I have read about RAIDS & don't think that is what I want (don't want redundancy). Only want to use the HHDs that I already have. Can someone clarify if I can just add a PCI IDE controler for 4 more HHDs?? If so, is that a different card than the RAIDS cards?? (will RAIDS card just act as 4 additional IDE slots allowing different sizes and speeds & acting as 4 seperate drives) Could someone point me to a brand/Manufacturer. I see RAIDs cards advertised everywhere...Don't want to buy full-blown RAIDs system - Just want to add 4 more (independant) HHDs & use what I have laying around the house.
All Coments Welcome!!
