Two hard disks, one or two controllers, and one or two cables...

One thing I didn't mention, and feel I should've, was DMA, or Direct Memory Access, if your system supports it, should be enabled. No point in sending data through the processor if it doesn't need processing. I envision data running from one disk to the other without interruption: sort of like a pipe running between two tanks as opposed to a guy running back and forth with a pail.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. It's starting to look like I'm doing little more than splitting hairs here, or even splitting split ends.
