Dude (could not resists the Dell phrase), if you are getting a "no" response from Dell for your disk question, either hang-up and call a different Dell support person, or re-phrase your question.

While you may not be able to attach a SATA hard disk drive directly to the motherboard in place of the IDE/ATA drives, you could install a PCI-SATA adapter and attach your SATA disk drives using one of your PCI slots.

The catch is what drivers are supported depending upon your operating system, drive types and adapters.
