IDE Legacy refers to the original Dual channel IDE controllers, not the
newer Serial ATA or Raid. Where exactly will you be connecting the
second drive ? Most Motherboards have 2 IDE connectors, referred
to as Primary and Secondary. Each controller can handle two devices
Master & Slave. (Controlled by a Jumper block on the drive).
Ultra-DMA (Direct Memory Access) should be enabled for both of
the IDE controllers & Channels. Wherever you install the drive it's best
to set BIOS to autodetect the parameters of the drive.
