Jumper Settings
I have a computer that has one hard drive, one dvd drive, and one cd-rw
drive. What should the jumper settings be to allow for optimal on the fly copying? Here is what I have: CD-RW on channel 2 as master HDD and DVD on channel one as master and slave respectively Does that sound right? |

If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Optimal is irrelevant, either it works or doesn't. What I mean is, you have three devices and only two channels, so something has to give, there's a penalty whenever two devices are used from same channel so the config you have is only optimal when the HDD isn't heavily used... some people can put both opticals on same channel and continue using system/HHD heavily WHILE copying a CD, as the greater issue is usually the source drive's read speed, not which channel or master/slave position... you try it and if it doesn't work you switch it. I generally try putting both opticals on same channel first as it's a lot easier and neater to route IDE cables that way in "most" systems. |
