This has probably been debated forever, but maybe
some one can give me a difinitive answer. Ha!
You one of those foot shooters ?
I have two 40GB hard drives,

one DVD burner and one CD/RW burner. What is the best way to arrainge
these puppies on the two IDE channels for optimum performance?
No such animal.
It makes most sense to have both optical drives on one
ribbon cable and the hard drives on the other, just because
thats all that works with the legal cables in most cases.
I don't plan on ever doing any disc-to-disc copying, so that is not a concern.
Right now I have the boot drive and the DVD burner on the Primary channel
and the other hard drive and the CD/RW burner on the Secondary channel.
Bet you wouldnt be able to pick between that config
and the other one in a proper double blind trial.
Both the CD and DVD drives are set as slaves
Slavery has been illegal for over a century or more now.
and the hard drives set as masters.
And that sort of thing for quite a few decades now too.
Someone said that it is better to have both hard drives
on the Primary and the two burners on the Secondary.
They're right.
Is this better than the way I have it?
Yes.
