Hey there, i have a motherboard that supports both pata and sata. I am wanting to use 4 pata drives (2 on each chain) and 2 sata drives on each of the ports the motherboard has. Is this possible for 1, and 2 if so what jumper configuration would that require? Would sata0 take over as the master or would there still be a need for a pata master?
 
Solution
Yes it's possible. The PATA jumper configuration works independently of SATA drives (the PATA jumper settings must match on each cable).
