    Here is your box

    You can get an SATA drive or an old IDE drive. Your Mobo supports both. Cross reference the diagram with what you have inside your box already, look to see if its plugged into the SATA slot or the IDE slot. Hopefully it's a SATA drive so you wont need new cables.

    Here's a 500GB SATA for $54.99

    Any Sata 3.5' drive will work for you.
    I know you think your $14.99 per month entitles you to play the way you want but the rest of the raid's $359.76 thinks you should know your role.

    Your mobile phone has more computing power then all of NASA in 1969. NASA launched a man onto the moon. We launch birds into pigs.
