Yes, the 600X cannot normally connect to SATA drives. The 1 TB drives are all SATA 3.0. There are converter boards which allow an IDE drive to run on a SATA system, and verse visa, but they are a little long, allowing or requiring the drive to stick out of the 600X about 7/16 of an inch.
The 600X will run a 160 GB IDE hard drive, so I doubt there are any limitations otherwise. rb This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last. ... .... ..... ...... .......
