[SUMMARY] Second IDE Drive on Solaris x86

Thanks to all who replied. The major consensus was to add the second disk to
the second IDE controller.

Many suggested to go SCSI. SCSI would definitly solve the perfomrance
issues. But I was told to work with what I had, and I had the onboard IDE
controllers and two IDE drives.

----Original Message Follows----

We have a MX and DNS server set-up on a PIII 700 MHz, with a 9GB IDE HD. We
are looking at adding a second HD and using it to hold the mail spool.
However, since this is all on the same IDE controller, will it increase
perfomrance, or decrease?

I am not up on the performance associted with IDE, and have heard that a
slave IDE device may be slower. Any thoughts?
