depends on how you use them. if you transfer from one hard drive to the
other a lot it would be best to split them up and if you intend to try to
copy from the dvd-rom straight to the dvd-rw it would be best to split them
up but if you plan mostly to copy from the hard drives to the dvd-rw it
would be best not to have the dvd-rw on the same ide as a hard drive unless
you only plan on writing files from one of the hard drives to the dvd-rw
most of the time then just make sure that hard drive isn't the one that
shares an ide with the dvd-rw..
