  1. I was wondering why this tech-tip states, “I also want to mention that it is important to keep your hard drive on a separate IDE channel than your optical drive, and make your faster hard drive the master drive.” What (If any) are the drawbacks to having the dvd-drive and hard-drive connected through the same IDE port?
