You do not need a second drive!
The RaQ3I run´s with RaQ4 OS without a second drive.

By the way, there are 2 connectors 1 + 2 IDE Port inside the RaQ 3i.
There is a second nut for the second Harddisk inside,too. You´ll only
need a fixture. (you can buy it as replacement part.)

When you start the RaQ it will show primary Ide Master + Slave and
secondary Ide Master + Slave.

The only thing is, that Sun do not want you to Mount a second Harddisk
and 
"update" the RaQ3 to RaQ4. I think the Hardware and the case is the
same. Only 
the shipping equipment and manual is different. And the CPU  300 RaQ3,
450 RaQ4
(500 RaQ myown)
