Is it possible to hook up have an IDE drive within a SCSI RAID setup?

At work my department just got a server that has a RAID setup with SCSI drives. I need to backup files on the old server's hard drive. Our tape backup drive is broken
and the cd burner is too slow - 2x. Would it be possible to hook up the old IDE drive into the new server as a slave drive? I would think all I'd have to do is
plug it into the IDE port on the mobo. Would there be any conflicts with the SCSI RAID setup?
 
You don't need to hook up the ide drive as slave. Just hook it up as master on the primary ide channel. The scsi drives are on their own scsi raid controller.....you can't mix scsi and ide.

Makes sense to me.


Thanks for the help.
 
any number of drives set to be "Dynamic Disks" in the win2k disk management interface can be emulated as raid with scsi drives.
