Hard Disk Drive Tower.

Jemser33 · 2012-01-22 10:12:08

Hi, Over the years I have accumulated a number of 3.5" HDD's from various PC's and devices I had. They range from 200gb to 500gb. Large enough to be useful for backups etc. Does anyone know of a tower that these can be stacked in with some interface back to my main PC. These drives are mainly IDE type drives. Any advice…

with an old motherboard you can connect 4 harddrives take out cd rom etc. so 2 x 2 =4
then if you need more just buy pci to ide cards . each card can add another 2 harddrives
