The cable arrangement can't make a drive fail, unless the controller itself
fails on one of the ports.

In general, it is adviced the drives you want to transfer from and to aren't
on the same cable.

80-pin cables are required for drive above ATA5 (UDMA66), what the DVD
drives seems not to be, and need no to be since they aren't fast enough.
