DigitalDivide Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Should all hard drives SATA and IDE all be set to cable select or is it okay to make all the SATA drives set to Master and the two ide drives set to master and slave? I have 4 sata ports and one ide port. Installed I have 4 sata drives and two ide off the same cable. I thought I read somewhere that all drives should be set to cable select but I don't see how that makes a diff? Quote Link to comment
dschur Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I set all my PATA to CS Good luck with finding that setting on SATA drives Quote Link to comment
limetech Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 For IDE, a.k.a., PATA, easiest to set jumpers to "cable select", then you don't have to be concerned with which connector (end or middle) it's connected to. For SATA, each connection is point-to-point, hence no 'master/slave' jumper. Quote Link to comment
