RickD RickD Planeteer Registered: 02/19/07 Posts: 287 Loc: Prague, Czech Republic & Guana...	Has anyone tried using one of these on the internal hard drive port, with two internal IDE drives (one set to master, one set to slave, i presume)?

I've got a spare HD lying around, i'll order this cable and give it a shot. Would be awesome if it worked. Also, i'm surprised no one has made their SSD external, simply by adding in a SATA extension between the board and the SSD. There is plenty of space for the cable to come out the front, where the DVD drive is. That way you wouldn't need to bother with pricey scsi2sd options, you'd have your main drive outside and easily accessible. Then you just need a cheap SATA to USB adapter for your PC and you can backup & export much much quicker than with an SD card. _________________________ All the best, RickDangerous - VS-2480CD v2.505 with 2x 'two' cards + 2x 'three' cards + all plug-ins + Meter bridge - Converted to DVD with a UJ-860 + SSD with a Samsung EVO 860 250GB - JBL LSR308 monitors The rest of my gear : http://fr.audiofanzine.com/membres/29885/products/

I seem to remember FalconEddy suggesting in pretty strong terms that it will not, and he is the ultimate digital specialist here... ) will not benefit you all that much. It would be like putting a 200 GB drive and wondering why you can use only 80. Anyways. I wouldn't mess with it.
