re: 3 CD roms How to make work? Friday, June 4, 2004 at 12:03 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by carbo18 (26 messages posted) The problem with putting both optical drives on the same cable, is that it effects CD to CD direct copy. Direct CD to CD copy doesn't use the hard-drive at all but does use the CPU. So therefore I wouldn't put them on the same IDE cable. But this setup is debateable, I agree. Optimal would be HD on Serial ATA and each optical drive on a seperate IDE cable to remove as much data transfer slowdown as possible. Written in response to: re: 3 CD roms How to make work?
