I bought another internal hd drive and would like to add it to the system.
Currently I have 2 other internal drives and 2 dvd burners. There are only
2 IDE connectors on the mobo.

Is there a way to add the 3rd drive?

Thanks,
newtechie
 
The first one listed is all you need unless you plan on SATA or RAID. You can add
up to 4 more drives with it if your power supply can handle that many.

You could buy an external drive case (USB) and mount it in that.. a good
back device..
