Geek question
The situation: Acquired a new desktop PC with not much in the way of IDE devices. Hard drive and CD ROM drive only, to be precise. I've got a second hard drive and a CD/DVD burner to put inside it. Most burning is going to be from the 2nd hard drive.
The question: What's the best layout for the four devices on 2 IDE channels? My first thought was to have the primary drive (master) and burner (slave) on the primary channel and the 2nd drive (master) and CD ROM drive (slave) on the secondary channel. Your thoughts?Posted by: Jim at 02:43 PM | Comments (18) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

Jim:
If they're regular ide devices (ie not serial ata) then it's definitely better to put both hard drives on the primary channel, and both optical drives on the secondary channel. If you mix them, the hard drives will only be allowed to run at the speed of the optical drives, which is slower because the opticals can't run at as high a DMA setting as can the hard drives.
