It all depends on your motherboard. Keep in mind Ultra ATA is the same thing as IDE. Nobody makes "IDE" drives any more; they're all Ultra ATA, but they use the same connections, so everybody still calls them IDE. Sometimes they call them "IDE Ultra ATA," which is redundant... but who am I to tell them that?
Do you have room for another "IDE" drive? If you have two HDDs and two optical drives, chances are you have no more room. Unless you buy an add in PCI IDE controller, there's nowhere to connect a new drive.
If you DO have space, however, there shouldn't be a problem. You already have two drives as JBOD, so adding a third shouldn't change a thing.
And remember... IDE, ATA... same thing. SATA is the new(er) one, not ATA.
