hello all, i am a download-a-holic, and am seeking some help, ok heres my prob, i have currently filled up my 2x200gb hdd's currently connected through IDE cables.
i dont like saving my stuff to disc cause 1. i loose it or 2. it gets scratched.
i am wondering how i would add another "3rd hdd" into my tower i have searched but still not 100% sure on what i should do i have found 2 ideas
IDEA 1 = Buy a PCI Card which has 3rd and 4th IDE slots. but not sure if my comp will pick up new hdd
IDEA 2 = MY I.T teacher said i can buy a ribbon which has 4 connectors on it, but still not sure if 1. my motherboard will allow it, and 2. my comp will pick it up.
I dont like the idea of external drives since i hate the cables everywhere.
I was also thinking of buying a tower, just to put Hard drives in, and somehow connection the two towers together if anyone could suggest any ideas would help me very much i thank you for your time.
Once again thanks
