[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 493930, member: 13534"] Hi All, Ok, so i have got an ASUS desktop computer, It is about 4 years old i suppose?? Anyway, i want to add a second internal hard disc so that i can do backups without messing around with bits of wire and external drives.. I went out and bought a nice new Toshiba HD, but when i go to fit it, there are plenty of power connectors, but no data ones... On my mother board there are two SATA ports, but these are already used for the hard disc and the cd drive thingy. There are only two expansion slots on my mother board. One is a long one, about 4 or 5 inches long, but that already has some sort of large gizmo plugged into it [as it was when the thing came from the factory, i think it is something to do with graphics] and a short little port about an inch and a quarter long, labelled something like "PCI EX1" What do i need to do?? Am i up the creek?? john.. [/QUOTE]
