Hi, is it ok to put a new cdrw on the same cable as the HDD ?, all the parts are new, motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8IHXP, the cdrw is an Asus 4816A 48X Write/ 16X Rewrite/ 48X Read , the HDD is a WD120gig.
some one said that putting it on the same cable as the HDD will slow it down,
and another said thats bullcrap, and that it wont effect it at all because that only happened with old gear.
does anyone here know for sure what the go is ?
I have been serching around the net, but unsure where to look for definitive answers on this.
Regards Kevin.
Ps, i cannot use the second ide controller(just incase you suggest that)
