Sorry it took this long to get back to you -

The 2000G is a Samsung SP2004C, set as Master.
The 40G is a WD Caviar, also set as Master.

The reason I set them as Master, is because they are each on their own
'cable' or channel...

Is this incorrect?

Yes it's wrong if the WD is the only drive on its cable. WD drives
have a single setting also. They are the only ones that have that.
