Are you talking about the IDE cable or the SATA cable. The 74GB drive is
not an IDE drive. It is a SATA drive and it requires a SATA cable. If you
order the retail version of the drive, it will come with a SATA cable.

Quick question... I just purchased a new XPS Gen 3 (3.6) with a single
74GB 10,000 RPM HD. I did not get a second drive since I already have
some large drives here that I planned to add. Problem is since I only
ordered the computer with one drive, the primary IDE cable for the HD only
has a single connector. Is this typical? Can I just pick up a standard
two-connector IDE cable in order to add the second drive?

TIA for your suggestions!
