When installing two harddrives, what provides the best performance, daisy chaining the hard drives, or hooking the secondary card up to an ATA 133 card? I've noticed that transfering large files between the two usually results in pretty long wait times right now... and I have them daisy chained.

thanks in advance

Yes it is better to have your drives on separate channels.

One on the Primary channel and the other on the secondary channel would accomplish the same thing.
