If I buy (2) new hd would they connect to the 8500

what I want to do.

We can play with the #3 and #4 later but I want to complete
the cloning process. That's the main objective in all of this.
To have the cleanest possible hd and then clone it which we
were in the process of doing.

I want to start fresh and finish what we started instead of
wasting time on #3 and #4, lets move on if possible.
