I have two IDE DVD writers.
Am using an Asus P5Q Pro MB with 1 IDE port (supporting a master and a slave device). And I have a Rosewill RC-200 PCI IDE (ATA) Silicon Image RAID (0/1/0+1/JBOD) Host Controller Card that will support an additional set of IDE devices via the PCI slot.
Am I better off connecting both IDE DVD writers to the IDE port on the mobo as a master/primary and slave/secondary. Or am I better off connecting one to the IDE port on the mobo as a master and connecting the second writer as a master on the PCI slot IDE controller?
And why?
