I bought a Seagate 80 gb HDD to repalce my failed 60 gb Hitachi/IBM drive. Now I received a remanufactured Hitachi drive under warranty and I would like to use it as a slave just for file storage.

Should I jumper both drives to cable select with the new Seagate at the end of the 80 wire EIDE cable to make it the master?

Or should I jumper the Seagate to master and the Hitachi to slave?
