You can definitely mix IDE and SATA drives. In one computer I have a 200 GIG seagate, An 80 GIG western Dig and A 60 GIG IBM hard drive. On top of that I have an external 250 GIG Western Digital USB 2.0 Hard drive hooked up...all at one time.
You can have 4 IDE and 2 SATA drives at once running as single drives. You can even run more off your Raid controllers if you have room, when you have many drives you run the risk of incompatibilities.
You can add an accelleratorpp card and and add even more IDE devices. IDE devices can be hard drives or optican drives. THis assumes that your mobo and Chip Set supports Wwhat you want to do.
