Adding additional vhdx file in Virtual Machine

Hi,

 I have a virtual machine in Hyper-V server. It has a hard drive under IDE controller which is OS.
 Then I added a vhdx file to this VM under SCSI controller.
 I have another vhdx file that I like attach to this VM. I see [Add] button in both IDE and SCSI controller sections.
 Where should I add this additional vhdx file and why?

Thanks.

OK. I will add it to SCSI controller and report back.

SCSI controller option worked fine.
Thanks Tom!
you can have a maximum of 4 IDE drives in a VM.  In Gen1 VMs, I use one for the OS drive and then EVERYTHING ELSE (other than virtual DVD) goes on SCSI (you can have dozens of VHDx file attached!)
