402993 2005-11-09 22:50:00 I am planning on adding a new HDD to my machine. I currently have 2 x SATA drives (RAID 0) on an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe mobo. My question is, can I add another SATA drive or is 2 the maximum? Miami Steve (2128)
402994 2005-11-10 00:01:00 If the mobo has more than 2 SATA connections, u can add another SATA.

If not, u cant. Since SATA's only have masters, not slaves.

Or u could buy a PCI sata card, and connect more sata's thru this.

You can still connect IDE hdd's to the ide connections, if there's nothing on them atm.

Or you could get external cases, and connect them via USB 2 or firewire.
