New Highspeed HD problem

[iagothemad]

OK so I bought a Seagate 15000RPM HD for the new computer I'm putting together (this is my first time putting together a system from scratch so it's been a lot of learn-as-I-go). I go to plug in my IDE cables and notice to my dismay that the HD doesn't use this interface. Says on the site I bought it from that it uses a SCSI Ultra320 something-or-other and at this point I'm out of my depth...

So do I just need to go out and get a SCSI-whatever cable and plug it into some port on my motherboard I'm not currently seeing or is it going to be more complicated than that?

Thanks for the help!

For that price, you may as well buy an actual SCSI card and cable....This will be plenty for that drive. Here is a cable.

You will also need a terminator for the cable.
