I would just use the ones through the nForce 4 chipset though. Just make sure you have those ports enabled in the BIOS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 ports 1, 3, 5 and 7 are best, because they are masters, where as 2, 4, 6 and 8 are slaves. (according to the nvidia IDE drivers). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppreacher Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Isn't IDE the only hard drive interface with master and slave? I thought one of the major advantages of SATA is that each hard drive has its own dedicated channel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
