Hi i was building a new computer using the asus av8 mobo. I have 3 hdds that i want to hook up to it and was wondering how it could be done? IDE 1 would be for the hdds and IDE 2 would be for the dvd drive. Is there a triple device ide cable available? or is that not the way to go?
 
you can put the 1st two drives onto IDE1, then on IDE 2 you can mix devices and put the 3rd HDD drive in the primary position and the DVD as a secondary device on the same cable...

other options include purchasing PCI IDE controller card to add additional drives as well....
 
Share the 2nd ide channel with the dvd drive or buy a ide controller expansion card. They don't make triple device cables.
