[Leaplist] FAQ - 500gb IDE drive in P2/400 system?

[Kyle Gonzales]

Damien,

You will want to get a PCI controller card to add to the system, that
can adequately handle the drive.  It is doubtful that a P2 system
would have onboard IDE controllers that could handle the newer drives.
 You may want to look at a SATA controller card, if you go this route.
