Sata and IDE

OK so i have this old IDE hard drive and i was wondering if i could set it up with my stata drive as a slave or maybe even a RAID

-after posting this i realized i should have put this in the hard drive section, my fault

 

I dont know about the RAID bit, but you can have both normal IDE and SATA running in the PC. It wont be as a slave though.

 

hmm how does that work

 

The SATA drive doesnt go on the same lead as the IDE drive. Thats the only time you would need to use master/slave; when there are two drives on the same lead.

It should be as simple as plugging them both in.

As for the RAID, I suppose it would be possible if you did it through a software setup but from what ive read you should only really use RAID with matched drives.

 

alright thanks for the help i'll try it out and get back

 

yeah it works fine, not that i shouldn't thanks for the tip
