    • Open bay
    • Available IDE connector on IDE cable

    • Memory requirements are dependent on what you use the drive for. The drive itself uses very minimal memory. If you are burning or running some application with it, you will need more memory. The system will run with less memory, but will run better with more.
  • External drives
    • Power source (such as a power cord) (some may use the power from the system, but those are not recommended. Some systems don’t provide enough power. The drives that have their own power are better)
