OK, I also have 1 DVD writer and 1 DVD reader, so if I understand you
correctly, I should put one HD and one DVD on each channel???

If you've only got 2 channels and 4 devices, then you want the devices you
copy to/from most on seperate channels. but you also need to consider
from which drive you copy to the DVD wiriter most and keep them seperate
as well if possible. It depsnds on how you use the sytem as to how to best
configure the drives. Someone suggested another controller card, using 1
drive per channel. That would be the best solution if that's posssible.
They're cheap as dirt (I bought a dual channel with raid for about $10),
so cost shouldn't be an issue for most people.
