is this possible? anyone tried this yet? i would try but i need a new psu before i do this and wanted to know if this would work out right or just have many problems.... planning on using a Sony DRU-510a and a DVR-105, any ideas? seperate channels, multi harddrives, what do you think?

I've had 2 installed for awhile. Currently, a lite-on 851 and Nec 2500. They're on the same IDE channel. I haven't noticed any problems on DVD's that were burned simultaneously with Nero. I do read the files from a SCSI hard drive, but I'm not sure if that matters.

shouldn't be a problem since almost all new drives come with buffer underrun protection if your hdd can't keep up with both of them.
