Obviously it depends on many factors. 1 IDE controller can support 2 drives. Most computers have at least 2 IDE controllers (primary and seoncdary). Many have 4 for a total of 8, and you can of course add in I/O cards to add more. I'd be more concerned with power though. Lots of drives draw a lot of juice, and if your power supply is not up to the task, expect to hear a big bang. -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?
you can of course add in I/O cards to add more Yeah.. two Maxtor PCI to IDE cards I'd be more concerned with power though Then I'm hoping that the two 450W power supplies hold up. :laugh: Maybe I should part this thing out and make two computers out of it.
