Configure your system with up to three hard drives for a massive total capacity of 1.5TB. The system offers room for up to 4 hard drives. In addition, the drives can be configured for RAID 0 and 1, helping improve system performance or data protection, depending on your preference
other options could be ide channels, primary master, primary slave, secondary master & secondary slave
also usb hard drives meant 4 external application, could be put inside the case, provided there is room enuf

You need to look at the motherboard, there are probably 2 IDE channels, one for 2 hard drives and 1 for a CD-Rom/DVD(don't put a hard drive on this one). There may be connections for SATA drives. If there aren't you'll need a controller card, SATA is probably best and you can plug the SATA drives into the board. Just make sure that the box has enough room to install 4 drives and the power supply is large enough. Dell is notorious for underpowered machines. If they won't go inside use Firewire or USB external drives. If you go to Dell.com and put in the service tag number in the Support section you should be able to pull up some tech specs on your computer that will help. Good Luck

regrettably the persons above are no longer inevitably astonishing, the main important single stressful stress you could slot in a xps seven-hundred is basically 500 GB and you have got 3 of those, as a result you've gotten 1500 GB of area. in spite of the fact that, different computers could have a minimum of three 750 GB stressful drives which might provide you extra area.

You can put 4 IDE hard drives on if you have IDE controllers on your mobo,but you won't be able to have any CD ROM drives or DVD drives in that case. Another option is an IDE add-on card, but those are becoming harder and harder to find.
