Re: Can I cut my IDE cable?
Generally speaking, you can cut the "master" connector off of a cable, and it will continue to work properly, given that you jumper the drive on the "slave" connector as master. This does not always work.

Works like a dream. I took my buck knife and WHACK I now do not have a mess going from my mother board to my RAID array.
