Either should be OK but I personally prefer master and slave settings using of course the right cable along with that combo.

So here mention that Dell PC's like C/S better.

@Catfreak:
Are the 2 burners set as master on the same cable?

It'd have to be two separate cords right? Otherwise you'd have a bus conflict due to the fact that each one has the same priority......

I could be off here :)

Thanks Scuba for the reference to clarify two burners on one channel:
"If you are using two drives on a channel, it is important to ensure that they are jumpered correctly. Making both drives the master, or both the slave, will likely result in a very confused system."
I thought that there has to be a master ans slave type setup.
