    Not 100% sure but if you do you'll need to get a SATA to IDE adapter, there isn't alot of room inside for one though with the extra sata cable inside and the size of the addapter, not much point would be easyer just getting a IDE drive as sata doesn't have any advantages IDE
    Hope that helps

    I wouldn't count on it working..at least not very well. You're best off getting an IDE drive.
