Will I run into trouble connecting a hard drive to the secondary IDE port/cable--the one that's normally used for CD and DVD drives and such? Or should this not be done? I have two hard drives hooked up to the main IDE-0 connector and want to add a third, large-capacity drive to be used for backing up the other two drives, connecting this to the available IDE-1 cable connector--the other connector of which is hooked up to a DVD drive. I would want to put this new hard drive in a mobile rack & tray fixture that would mount in the 5 1/2 drive bay below the DVD unit--or above, depending on how things fit.
Would the computer recognize this as a hard drive even though it would be connected on the same cable as the DVD drive? Or does this mean problems?
