Re: The right way to set up 2 HDDs and 2 cd writers?

I think it's more a case of burning CD's or DVD's that you try to AVIOD having the source AND target on the SAME cable/channel.

It's fine to have two optical drives on the same IDE cable. Just be sure to
carefully follow the installation instructions and you'll be all set.

I currently have 2 HDDs set as primary master and slave, and a cd writer 

as

secondary master. I've just bought an IDE dvd writer, and have heard that
it's not good to have the 2 cd/dvd drives on the same IDE bus. I thought 

i

would just set the dvd and cd writers up on the same cable as master and
slave.  Is this a bad idea?  What's the best way to set up all four


devices

please?
