I have installed two 120GB IDE harddrives into a Win 2003 Server and set up
RAID 1 via Windows. Currently the drive jumpers are set to Cable Select. Is
this the correct setting? Somewhere I read that the jumbers should be set to
Master.

Using a separate IDE channel for each hard disk will be better for
performance, since both hard disks can be accessed simultaneously in this
configuration, while having both hard disks on the same channel might be
limiting, since disk writes must be performed consecutively.

Best regards

In CABLE SELECT the position of the drive on the cable determines which
is master and which is slave. Setting the jumpers to M/S doesn't make
much difference as long as you can remember which cable position is
master or slave with CS.

One thing that you should be aware of - using RAID-1 is best when the
motherboard supports Harware RAID-1, and also when using the drives on
different IDE channels.

Many boards have more than two channels now, as with SATA boards, they
sometimes come with SATA controllers and IDE controllers - you would use
SATA for your RAID array and IDE for the CD'Rom drives.
