Hey guys, heres the go, i have 2 SATA harddisk drives, one sata DVD/RW drive and one IDE DVD/CDRW drive. How should i have these setup? I want to gain the best performance. I have a dual boot setup (but i use the press f12 to choose boot device, so it keeps xp and vista seperate).
There are 4 sata ports, labeled as follows
SATAII0
SATAII1
SATAII2
SATAII3
Would this be the layout of the ports?
SATAII0 - master?
SATAII1 - slave?
SATAII2 - master?
SATAII3 - slave?
Which option would have the best performance, and everything getting along just nice?
Option 1=
Xp hdd = sata 0
Vista hdd = sata 1
DVD/RW = sata 3
IDE DVD/CDRW = ide master, jumper setting master
Option 2=
Xp hdd = sata 0
DVD/RW = sata 1
Vista hdd = sata 2
IDE DVD/CDRW = ide master, jumper setting master
