Master/Slave was an obsession of the IDE protocol: There you need to set a jumper on each hard disk so that every IDE cable only has one master (and one slave), or CS (cable select) both. Sata does not need this.
Kind regards Philippe
Those master and slave jumpers are ancient. For many years, the selection is determined by the cable. If you use the end connector, the drive is the master. If the middle connector, it's the slave.
Unfortunately, in my experience cable detection tended to be somewhat unreliable ... it may have improved since on newer drives... but has given me much grief in the past.... - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
