If they are IDE or Serial ATA devices, then yes, you should use them just fine. System sees it as just another fixed disk drive.

Is there a way to turn those off? I really dislike eye candy. My machine needs to WORK first and foremost, not look pretty. (On XP and Vista installs, first thing I do is set the "Windows Classic" theme because XP's default theme looks goofy, while Vista's looks like someone threw up on it, and I think Aero is a complete waste of system resources.)
