Just built a box and for some strange reason all is working. When I built it I installed a single Maxtor drive. Now I wish to add another with the absolute least amount of effort. Ideally, buy a second IDE drive, and plug it into the next available IDE connector slot, reboot, and mount the drive. No futzing with jumpers or pins if possible. The drive will be used for backup, most likely I will do periodic dumps to the drive. What to get and how to do this in the easiest possible way?
