Stupid Cable Question

[chrisgill369]

What cable to i need to get with an OEM floppy drive?

another stupid qustion, i may aswell post it here, if a motherboard supports RAID, do you have to have two hard drives?

The cable comes with the mobo and you don't have to have 2 hard drives

 

[chrisgill369]

are you sure it comes with the mobo?
what cable is it anyway because i want one of those rounded ones and not the fat gray ones. Is it called IDE or something?

If I were you...I would go to http://www.newegg.com and go to there cables section (under view all categories) and search for an FDD (floppy disk drive) cable.

That will make it easiest for you since you aren't familar with floppy drives cables.

It looks like a IDE cable just not as wide.

As for the RAID question, there are many different types of RAID you can set. Depending on what type you set, depends on how many hard drives you will need. You probably want to read up a bit on RAID before using it.

Also to clarify I think he means His motherboard supports raid so does he HAVE to use it.

No you dont have to use it if thats what you mean.. usually you can just use it normally.

yeah thats what i meant, wanted to know if i could use just the one hard drive and it appears i can, thanks!
