(E)IDE Drives with 409

[synt]

I have some 3 250GB EIDE Drives left. (WD Caviar WD2500BB) Does somebody know how to use them in a QNAP 409?
Is there some kind of adapter to use them with?
Regards,
Synt

but you also need a sata power plug to 4pol power plug adapter and if this will work it would look really stupid when your harddrives look out of the case another thing is that the raid controller must support ide raid.

Thanks Christian!
Just to be sure - Even if I solve the power plug issue by adding an additional power plug adapter, does it mean that there is not enough space to squeeze anything like a IDE-SATA adapter into the 409?

max space between door and hdd is around 23 mm and i guess thats not enough. just sell all three on ebay and buy one brand new 750 gb disk. later you can add once by once . thats what i would do
