Dual HD

I came across this group by accident so if this question has been
answered before please bear with me; I was wonder if it matters which
power cord you used to put a dual hard drive in a Demenssion XPS Gen 2 I
just replaced the 320 GB with a 500GB HD and was told I could use my
320GB hd for extra storage or as a back up but there are 5 power cables
with labels P 3, P2, P5 and so on, the mother board has 2 ATA plugs one
that I plugged the 500GB into and one that is empty. Hope this makes
sense and thank you in advance for any help you can give. jontman

So long as you use an available SATA power connector, it doesn't matter
which one - it's irrelevant.
