I was cruising through the Soyo site, and found this chart, appears 250gb max applies to my mobo. Maximum supported Hard Disk Drive(HDD) sizes for "Socket 478"(P4, Celeron) motherboards I already have a 200gb hard drive, and was wanting to add another for saving video files from my camcorder. Can I add a controller card in a pci slot to add another large drive, or can I just pop a drive in an external case enclosure and it would work? |

How big do you want the other hard drive to be? From your sig I see you are running 2 optical drives and 1 hard drive. Why don't you just add another hard drive on the other IDE channel (2 IDE devices/channel)? 250GB is not total space but per IDE device. It wouldn't suprise me if that info at the Soyo site is old and that your mobo will support the newer 400GB. |

I'm looking for another 200gb or higher, when one goes on sale cheap enough. Thanks for the info. |
