Hammer motherboard with 6 IDE (non-serial) Devices?
It isnt good to become dependent on a certain type of hardware, especially not when you will need to replace that hardware sooner or later. I have four decent ATA drives from Western Digital.

I have four decent ATA drives from Western Digital. 1x80, 2x120 and 1x250.
As you may guess, I also have a DVD Reader and a CD Burner, a total of 6 IDE Devices.
As you may also guess, I am very happy about having 570gb of hd space, and I am using it all with the four ports I have on my EpoX motherboard.
Having 6 IDE Devices, none serial, seems to become a pain now when its time to grab a new hammer-capable motherboard. I like to ask the 'techies' that truthfully understand the specifications of the latest chipsets, to give me a clue what I should look for. All hammerboards that I have seen so far seems to have only have two non-serial IDE ports... but I defenitly need four. Or three.
Solution?
