Two hard disks can be connected to each connector. The first HDD is referred to as the “Master” and the second HDD is referred to as the “Slave”.

For best performance, we strongly suggest you don’t install a CD-ROM or DVD- ROM drive on the same IDE channel as a hard disk. Otherwise, the system performance on this channel will not be able to achieve its maximum ATA133 speed.
