Something to watch out for. I had some difficulty adding an IDE hard drive to a machine that already had SATA drives because the allocation of drive letters shifted the SATA drives up, so C became D, D became E, and the newly installed IDE got C. Which all meant the booting of windows didn't work. Required some BIOS changes that I can't remember if I ever sort or if I pulled the IDE drive.
