Thanks...it sure is confusing to see them listed that way in the
bios...as it makes you think "Huh? When did I do that?"

Nope. I'm not sure why some configs still use the master/slave
nomenclature--SATA is point-to-point (excepting the relatively rare port
multipliers, of course).

Subject: [H] Master / Slave on SATA
Do these terms have any meaning?
My mobo has 8 SATA connections, 4 of which I'm using for my 2 HDs and
my
2 opticals. The bios show 1 HD as master and one of the DVDs as slave
on channel 0, while showing the other HD as master and the other DVD as
slave on channel one.
Does that have the same significance as it would have in the old PATA
days?
Thx.
