Hi Everyone...
I believe I have seen some discussion here on IDE ports to place both a CDR
and a CDRW drive for better perfomance. I have heard both sides of the
story, (separate the two cd drives on different IDE ports AND keep them on
the same port - CDR as secondary master and CDRW as secondary slave).
I do build many computers in my line of work, most with both CDR and CDRW
drives included, and have not experienced any problems that I can attribute
to IDE placement of the drives.
Myself, I have two hard drives on the primary IDE and my CDR as Master and
the CDRW as slave on the secondary IDE... and have experienced no problems.
I was wondering if I could start a discussion on what's the best method and
why.
Here's my specs:
Asus P4T533-C Motherboard
512MB RDRam
GeForce2 MX400 Video
60GB HD as Primary master
60GB HD as Primary slave
Creative 52x CDR as Secondary master
Plextor 12/10/32 CDRW as Secondary slave
I do have 3 more hard drives on a Highpoint DMA 100 controller as well as
a 100MB Zip drive, but I don't think it's pertinent to this case.
I am running WinXP Pro for the operating system
Any ideas on this matter from you all??
