If your disk controller has two places to connect a cable, and I was a gambling person, I'd bet that you'd get better performance with two cables, one to each disk, than one cable going to both disks. I can picture both disks trying to send data over the same cable at the same time, with electrons butting heads as they try to pass in opposite directions: They'd arrive really irritated.

Perhaps your card has two channels, if so, you may want to exploit this bit of added hardware.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. CHANNELS I picked this term up yesterday when looking through some URLs on controllers. I don't have a clue about what it's all about, but thought I'd throw it into my post: Give it some weight and make me sound informed. (It works for others.)
