[QUOTE="Chilbear, post: 755767, member: 32643"] You will need a "Y" connection to get to three - plug the Y into the power lead and it split the connection into two. You should also have enough connections on the IDE cable (Grey ribbon I believe). I found the hardest part was to figure out how to screw the HD firmly onto the case. Originally I used plastic zip ties to hold it in till I figured it out. Watch for sharp edges of steel...and read the part carefully about the jumper settings as you can onoly have one master (boot drive) and the balance are slaves. [/QUOTE]
