| | Master drive where you want the OS would be best in #1. Then if you add second third go to 2 then 3 etc. Easier for you to remember later and I think less problematic with the PC also. Mike |

| Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora | Connect it to the first port if it is the drive with the OS. |

| | No, I don't think it matters, as the SATA controller treats all drives equally. There are no Master/Slave conventions in SATA. Drive in port 1 may initialize 3 milliseconds faster than drive in port 4, but only if all 4 ports are populated. But I always plug my boot drive in Port 1! |
