Building a new PC and have a dumb question about optical drive configuration. Config looks like this;
Mobo - ASUS P4PE
Drive - WD1200JB
DVD - Pioneer DVD-120
CD/RW - Plextor PX-W4824TA/SW

Question: I was thinking about putting the HD(Master) and the DVD(Slave) on the 1st IDE and the CD/RW(Master) on the 2nd IDE all by itself. Can anyone recommend a better configuration taking into effect that most of the CD/RW work will be CD copies from the DVD?

Yeah, your DVD drive's got Ultra DMA66 interface. So there shouldn't be any problem with the setup especially if you do a lot of on-the-fly copying.
