3.5 or 5.25 IDE/PATA with USB2.0, 1934a/b (firewire), and or gigabit (NAS).

When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost, makes demands in exchange for singularity, and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like the Earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust that when you have served its needs faithfully, there may still remain some glimmer of the life you once knew.

AHH I'm extremely aggravated at the moment. I purchased this http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/co...osures/ACS-200/ and inserted my hard drive in it. I plug it into the computer, and it shows that it's recognized, "installs" itself, i disconnect it, it says it installed successfully, I reconnect it and says a Maxtor drive has been detected. But nothing shows up under my computer! Is there anything I'm supposed to do to get it to show up?
