    Hi Guys I am new here and I need help. I have a new dell 8400 with a 160 sata hd. I would like to put an additional 160 sata as a slave. I have found no info on this subject. Thousands of how tos on ide setup but none on sata. Tell me how it is did or point me in the right direction to do some reading. Thanks

    Serial ATA doesn't have masters or slaves, just one device per cable.

    Yes (as long as the mainboard supports the drive - some old mainboards have problems with drives larger than 137 GB).
