Re: IDE Controller Card for newer SATA Motherboard

Just curious ... for a newer motherboard that only supports SATA, can
anyone recommend an IDE Controller Card that would allow me to use my
IDE HD's? I have TONS of large capacity IDE HD's, and it'd be nice if
I could plug these into this new system I'm building. And it's a
given that the card must play well with Linux :)

I'm very curious to read the answers, and I don't have any of my own.

But, I have a similar situation to yours. I've got two of my larger IDE
drives in USB2/Firewire external enclosures. You could do that, or you
could build a Network Attached Storage unit. I have a good number of
SCSI drives too, but those are old enough that the largest is 16GB,
which is close in size to a floppy drive these days. ;-()

G'luck....
