I experienced the same case as did you.

Different HDDs seem to make some problems occasionaly. IMHO, try
connecting the each HDDs to two different cables. Most of I/O
controller card or I/O c inserted M/B allow one cable - it's connected
to one IDE controler - to manage two IDE drivers. You may use Master
and Slaver HDD with one cable, I dare say.

I am afraid I missed the point, but It seems that a controler manages
any drivers connected with the same system resources. Though only for
one driver to rate high speed, the drivers must not use the same
controler.

ps. Why don't you try disk cache?
