    Ata100 Hard drives compatible with SATA/300 same puter?

    I have a new self-build puter with two Sata/300 hard drives.

    Both are Western Digital Sata /300 Hard drives.
    1) Raptor 74GB for all my apps,and
    2) 500GB for storage.

    QUESTION: I have an old 80GB Compaq Ata /100 hard drive with alot of info I want to maybe use another internal backup for music and photo files. Are they all compatible with using together?

    Both Western Digital newer hard drives are plugged into the SATA MOBO Plugins, I would have to set this IDE Compaq Hard drive to SLAVE, or open, and connect along the CDROM daisy IDE cable? Thanks!

    Yes, but I'd put the 80gb as slave to your cdrom rather than the other suggestion in that other forum where you asked this same question. You shouldn't have any problems.

    Or add a ATA 133 controller card and then, if you have the right card, you can up to 4 of the largest hdds they make.
