It hasn't mattered in the past. I'm not sure why it should matter now.
I really don't see how it could matter at all really. Heck, my DVD
drive is slow as it gets, its udma4, but hdc is on the same cable and it
is one of the faster drives I have. That would exclude sda of course.
Those two drives has been in there this way for ages and used to be
pretty close as far as speed.
I'm thinking age is catching up on the drive myself.
