I'm putting together a new computer with a soyo dragon plus(kt266a). I have 3 drives; maxtor HD, pioneer dvd, and a teac burner. My mobo has 2 IDE channels and 2 more for raid(onboard fasttrak100).
What is the best arrangement to use for these 3 drives?
Could I possibly use my raid channels as normal IDE channels and put the hard drive on one of them, using the first two as channels for the 2 optical drives, running them as master on each?
If I do use my hard drive as master on channel 1, and I put the two optical drives on my second channel, which should be set as master? I will be watching movies on the DVD drive and it will also be the primary optical media drive, however I'm not sure if the burner should be set as a slave due to the resources burners seem to use.
I know thats a lot but I would appreciate some good experienced advice. Thanks.
