Can i attach a 3rd harddrive to my puter?
 

I have an old 10 gigs drive left that i want to use but i already have 2 hd's and see no more connections for this one. Any solutions?

USB HD

it depends on you motherboard and how many connections you have and how many you are using....

How do i check that? Sorry im a hardware idiot.

Depends on your motherboard, if you have no more connections available USB for Firewire might be your only options...are there 2 drives on every cable? (master/slave)

The new PC's we have just had built for us in the office here all have 4 x 125 gb HD's.

Makes a change not to be pushed for space.

Im not sure if this makes any sense but its worth a try.

Can you guys see anything on this pic? Or tell me exactly where to look and for what?

Battus, if you have only one CD rom drive/burner/dvd player etc, there should be place for one more IDE device. Call me, I'll run you through it, I build systems myself.

I have 2 roms already :/

Hey before you start working on those pics how about you install my hdrive in your paid time?

Actually the reason i wanted to install this drive is for you, so you can work on a clean disk.

LOL, OK, np :)

Do i have to buy anything special? Cables or something?

Nope, nothing at all. I'll just temporarily swap one CD-ROM for the harddisk.

K great.

You can take out the dvd player, i dont use it anyway.

you can usually put a total of 4 drives onto the 2 IDE ports

i just bought a 160GB usb
love it!

Get an pci controller card, it gives you an additional 4 ide slots for cdroms or hds...
