But if you're mixing 2.5" and 3.5" devices, you can only have three.

The Primary channel is either: 40-way header for two devices OR
                               44-way header for a single unbuffered device
The Secondary Channel is a 40-way header for two devices.


Thus, you can have four 3.5" drives, or one 2.5" plus two 3.5" drives.

(Check with Eyetech if it really matters, cos this was from my Mk1 manual, they
sell the Mk2 now, which seems to be just a different fixing but you never know)
