If you have a controller that controls 2 hard drives, you shouldn't have to
set them up as master/slave.  If your controller controls only one hard
drive, then you do have to hook the two drives up as master/slave.  In either
case, you'll have to add the second hard drive to the CMOS settings.

I would expect that hooking the drives up as master/slave would require
them to be a lot more compatible than connecting them to a 2HD controller.
