Master/Slave was an obsession of the IDE protocol:
There you need to set a jumper on each hard disk
so that every IDE cable only has one master (and one slave),
or CS (cable select) both. Sata does not need this.

Kind regards Philippe

Those master and slave jumpers are ancient. For many years, the
selection is determined by the cable. If you use the end connector, the
drive is the master. If the middle connector, it's the slave.



Unfortunately, in my experience cable detection tended to be somewhat
unreliable ... it may have improved since on newer drives... but has
given me much grief in the past....
