IDE channels read from only one device at a time, so if both HHDs are on the same channel, they can read fast separately -- but a disk copy (HDD to HHD) is slower. Also, each IDE channel reads at the speed of the slowest device. So with more than 2 devices, you have to decide whichdevices are used the most, and put them on separate channels
I'd suggest keeping both HDDs together, and keeping the CD drive(s) on the other IDE channel
