I have a SATA card in my G4/400 (upgraded to 1GHz) and I want to connect two HD's to the card. Do I need to conern myself with which drive is master and which is slave or is the card going to take care of that for me?
Thanks

Serial-ATA does not support more than one drive per cable, no master and slave.

Each port has one cable, one drive. Very linear.

My bad.
The *card* isn't SATA, but one of the drives is. The card is a Sonnet Tempo133 and will support SATA drives, but without all the bennies of being SATA. I can connect multiple drives to it. It helps to have the facts straight.

What makes you believe that the Tempo133 supports SATA in any way?
It is an ATA/133 board with 40-pin ATA/133 connectors.

Serial ATA is completely different. It uses a specific, module cable and connetor. You can't put a SATA drive on an ATA/IDE buss unless you have some kind of bridge board to convert one to the other, which would be counter-productive.
