IDE ? Master / Master or Slave and Master?
Buying some Rounded cables for my 2 CD drives (1 is a Pioneer 106 – Other is a Liteon). I initially wanted to set both drives to Mater using the Primary and Secondary IDE ports on my Motherboards, as my Hard drives are SATA, so I can take full advantage of these. I cannot find any Rounded single connector IDE cables, my options are buying two, two connector cables and just hiding the additional connector.
Or shall I just use one cable and set one to Master and one to Salve? Does this have an effect on Performance?
