| It also reads floppy disk, Zip, Jaz, MO, IDE, and SCSI drives. |
| A short ribbon cable connects the PCB to the IDE connector on the hard drive and a molex cable does the same for power. |
| These should allow us to focus more on the computational power of the CPU, with less disturbance from chipset issues like AGP or IDE implementation differences. |
| In either case, you must ensure that there are no bent connection pins, the unit is plugged in properly, and the IDE cables are in good condition. |
| Likewise, using the controller card versus the on-board IDE channels did not affect sustained transfer rates in any way. |
| Some have multiple IDE or SCSI hard disks for massive storage, and some have only one IDE or SCSI drive. |
