No it doesn't have any IDE (PATA) ports, it only has SATA ports. Whilst you can convert your old IDE hard drive to SATA, I recommend you buy a new SATA hard drive instead to get the best performance, plus your old IDE drive may be getting near the end of it's life anyway and in need of replacement soon.

If you want to try a converter this is the type of thing you need: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232004&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=12087162&PID=3899435&SID=skim1402X558040Xca182e1829a52974e6b340e7de7700d2&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-Skimlinks
