When the drives are in the same IDE channel, one has to be Master and the one has to be Slave. What I have heard is that the Master is given the pirority. The slave is only allowed the transfer data when the channel is idle. So the I/O operations on the slave drives will be slow, if the master drives are doing I/O operations.This is the same reason why people ask to avoid RAID setups on the same IDE channel. I'm not sure whether or not it will slow down the RAID setup and if yes, by how much. But for optimal performance you need to have them on seperate channels.Hey zerocool, don't be offended by what I said. We are cool, right?</blockquote>
