    Like the title, I wonder if S96J will support my old 2.5" IDE hard drive or not. Any ideas? Thanks.

    It will not. It uses a SATA connector. The optical drive is ide, but that won't do you any good for the hard drive. You can get an external case for the drive. You can get one for less than $20 on the internet.
