[QUOTE="Eazy, post: 195862, member: 334"] Like Raghu said not possible to have more than 2 connectors on one IDE cables. I know that the PCI IDE controllers are available but I dont know their prices or current brands available. I think the case or the USB2IDE cable are the best bet. The cases start at 500/- upwards to 2500/- for IDE HDDs .... a good USB2IDE cable should cost you around 500 to 600/-. Please resist the temptation to buy the cheaper USB cases - these will give you a lot of trouble.... and.... dont buy these products made by TechCom..... bad bad BAD...... if you want to get an idea of the prices of these cases do a search in Ebay India. Prices quoted at Ebay at times are ridiculously high :) A good USB2IDE cable which I have got is reviewed in the link given below .... this is availbale in Mumbai for around 550/-. The only drawback with these cables is that the HDD is left open. The drawback with using a USB case is that the HDD get quite hot.
