I have two HDs and two CDs - one a writer. Does it matter how they are

AIUI and IIRC, you should try to have devices that you're going to be
copying data between on different channels (primary or secondary). So,
if you write a lot of CDs from one HD to your writer, have the HD on
primary and the writer on secondary.

Other than that, I don't think it matters much. I tend to have HDs as
master and optical drives as slave if I've got both on one channel.
