I finally found a place that has the ECS 780G motherboard that I want, so I’m going to order it. However, I have a question. It only has 1 IDE port (as most mobos do now) and I have 2 IDE optical drives and 1 IDE hard drive. I’ve always heard not to put the hard drive and burner on the same cable so I was going to get an IDE controller card. I want to run the 2 optical drives through the IDE card and plug the hard drive to the motherboard. Can I do this? Reading the reviews no one seemed to be using it for optical drives, but only hard drives. This is the one I was looking at. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132012
Will it work?
