good point, there is nothing over 500G in the ide section.


I've just checked with datastor, one of the larger disties in NZ

Just to let you know that all IDE HDD has gone EOLed for our vendors. 
That is why there is no drive listed under the (pata) category.


So, PATA is a dead duck nowdays, just like DDR1 ram.

I guess my other alternative is to get a pci-e sata card and
sata drives.

I've had success with the little sata to pata adapters - small card
plugs onto back of a sata drive and then power and ide cable plugs on to
other side - a year or so back was around $40.
