Hi,
My motherboard has both two SATA and an IDE Hard drive connections on it, I currently have to IDE hard drives attached to it and was wondering if I can still add a SATA hard drive to the system, this drive is going to be used to back up the contents of my existing Data drive.

Any help is appreciated


You could add a PCI Sata controller card which would provide more SATA ports if that is what you need.

I added a Sunsway/ST Lab PCI SATA RAID 2P card to my PATA Dell Dimension.

You would also need to daisy chain the power supply.
