Best Answer

Since modern computers don't use IDE cables anymore, this question is basically obsolete. There is no such thing as two drives on the same SATA cable.

That being said, such drives will have jumpers in the back, and they will be marked. With two drives on the same cable, either one needs to be set as master and the other as slave, or else both need to be set to "cable select", in which case the bios will decide for itself how to give priority to them.
