I've just added a new 80 GB Western Digital IDE hard drive ($90) to my P4 Dell Workstation 340 that also includes a 18GB (boot) and 73GB Ultra160 SCSI hard drives. The IDE drive will only be used for storing video and other image data files. Seems to be working fine so far.
I would like to go ahead and add more inexpensive IDE drives for the same purpose, however, the manual only talks about a SCSI-based or an IDE-based hard-drive arrangements, but not a combination of the two.
Is there anything I should be watching out for or maybe concerned with by combining SCSI and IDE drives?
Also, I'm not currently running IDE or SCSI RAID, but might want to some day -- any problems/advice?
