Can you use scsi and ide on the same computer?

Can scsi be used at the same time as ide in the same computer off one motherboard?

 

[sohcrates]

you sure can. you just need to add a scsi card

 

[ragiepew]

yep, you can, like stated above... just add a scsi/ide card (not both, only the one you dont already have) and your set. In fact, lots of people run IDE for storage and keep OS/frequently used apps/swap/and other stuff on scsi...

 

[Sundog]

Yes, yes and yes.

They're right..Get an X15 Seagate Cheetah for the OS and apps, put your pics, music, documents and crap on the IDE and you'll be smokin' fast !

Yeah that is what I was going to do, but I didn't know that you could!! That is great because scsi is currently way faster than ide hdd's. Thanks. Oh and if I got the msi k7 master scsi (this one MSI K7Master-S (6341-S) : PC266, AMD Duron/Tbird, ATA100, ATX, 2DDR/5P/AGP4x/4USB, AC97, DDR-PC2100, U160 scsi) would ide work on it as well or would I have to add an ide card (do they make those?)

Sometimes there is a problem getting the SCSI drive to boot first because IDE drives take precedence but most current BIOS's allow you to select SCSI first in boot options.
