Keep hard drives on the same channel?
I've got 6 SATA connectors on my 9200 mobo, is there any performance
hit if I had my 2 hard drives at SATA0 and, say SATA3, instead of at 0 & 1? |

The good thing about SATA is that you don't have to worry about master/slave settings and performance hits due to unoptimized drive positioning on the controller. Russell http://tastycomputers.com |

There might be a significant difference if the motherboard has multiple
SATA controllers and some of those 6 connectors are for the two different controllers. wrote: I've got 6 SATA connectors on my 9200 mobo, is there any performance hit if I had my 2 hard drives at SATA0 and, say SATA3, instead of at 0 & 1? |
