My understanding that only a single drive on each IDE channel can be accessed at any one time. Thus, if you put one drive on one channel, and the other drive on the second channel, they can be accessed simultaneously. The location on the cable(s) does not matter, but I've always got accustomed to putting my disk drives as primary, which FBSD would see them as ad0 and ad2 respectively.
