    If you lack an IDE port on your motherboard

    Bro, IDE has been dead for YEARS now, I’d be shocked if there was an IDE connector on any consumer computer made in the last 10 years (Industrial stuff can get weird)

      I figured disk drives were kinda obsolete so they’d use obsolete connectors.

      In any event, my example was to explicitly not suggest an external disk drive on USB.
