I currently have two optical drives and two hard drives on my pc,also an external usb hard drive.I need another hardrive on my system.I have seen this on ebay 150086532528 ...(sorry don't know how to make it a link).Does this just plug into my motherboard and give me an extra ide channel to put another hard drive onto??

yes that item (SATA Card Serial ATA PCI IO Card wit 2 ports & IDE UDMA) will let you put extra drives in your pc and you can use a SATA hard disk drive or a PATA(IDE) drive - ensure you have power as well for the extra drive

If you want to future proof yourself a little then get one of these

and add up to four more SATA hard-drives (unless you have spare IDE drives lying around)- = I also recognise the Robins and beep for them = -0
