I'm kind of "upgrading" my Counter-Strike/Quake server, and I found some old hard drives I thought I could use. Right now I have a 10GB drive in it, but I found 3- 40GB Maxtor drives that seem to be in good working condition. I will be running a flavor of *nix. There's only one problem.
The Motherboard has but two IDE headers. My question is, can I run a RAID array of these three discs, along with a DVD-ROM drive and not have any problems? I figured that's what the extra port on these ribbon cables were for.
Am I going to have to buy a separate PCI card? I don't really have a problem with buying one, most seem inexpensive. However, I'm trying to save up for some lighting and a sound card so I'd like to do it without haveing to spend money.
