Solve : Three hard drives?? |
|
Answer» search didn't pull anything, was just wondering if it would be possible for me to have three HARD drives in the system.Sure, not a problem at all... Sure, not a problem at all... It's even possible to grab a PCI IDE controller, that way you can even MORE drives. Just have to make sure that your PSU can handle them all. ON TOPIC: Yes, 3 hard drives will work fine, I'm running 3 right now.Hi. I had a similar question I was going to post when I saw this topic. I'm using three hard drives with the Trios II from Romtec. I have to shutdown and restart WHICHEVER drive I want to use, since each is set as master. My question was going to be ; Do all drives spin while the computer is running? And is there a way to slave two drives off the first? Quote Do all drives spin while the computer is running? Yes, until they are told to spin down by the computer, either through BIOS or software. Quote And is there a way to slave two drives off the first? One master and one slave per IDE channel. If you are using a PCI based card there are more options. There is no reason I can imagine to slave two drives. If you need multiple drives you may look at SCSI as a solution. Thanks Another option is to use external hard drives connected to USB or Firewire ports. I suppose you could add SEVERAL of those. You can even put an internal hard drive in a hard drive enclosure and plug it into a USB port to use it as an external drive. So many options, so little cash! 8-) |
