Is there an ideal configuration for IDE devices, i.e. what to put in primary/secondary IDE slot, which to set master/slave?
Does it even matter for performance or is it all the same?
Currenty I have 2 HDs, both in Primary IDE slot, and 1 CDROM, as Secondary Master.
hello,
i don't put slow drives with fast ones on the same IDE channel, e.g. if i have a udma33 drive on the same channel as a udma133 drive i am gonna have two drives running as udma33. i think www.tomshardwareguide.com has a good article on this and i know the people at www.techIMO.com are very good with that kind of stuff if ya like details
I would personnally put the fastest hard drive as master on your primary channel, or if both of them are the same speed, it would depend on whatever your proclivities are.
