about my lite-on optical drives

[mike88]

i wanna buy rounded cables but the ata 133 ones cost so much... and i think i might be able to get ata 33 ones for free... im using sata for hard drive so i dont need the ata 133 and are my lite-on dvd 16x XJ-HD166S and my lite-on 52x 32x 52x LTR52327S both ata33? and should i keep them both as masters? (more cables but increased performance... am i right) or should i make the writer slave... less cables for more airflow but decreased performance (i think)... also rounded cables provide better airflow too... i got my system overclocked (2500+ @ 200*11 @ 1.7v) so i want the best airflow i can get...

so main thing is... r they both ata 33? and what combination should i make them... master/master master/slave..

thx

Both as master, performance would be better when direct copying a CD.
