The best IDE channel to connect on a hard drive is the Primary IDE channel, Also known as IDE 1 in dell computers
IDE cables in computers are used to connect Hard Disk Drives and CD/DVD Drives to the motherboard. - Neeraj Sharma
Only two drives can be supported on an IDE cable. One Master and one Slave.
The secondary IDE channel is used to reference the other IDE channel apart from the primary one on a computer mainboard. While the primary IDE channel usually takes the system/first hard disk of the system, the secondary channel usually takes optical drives or the second hard drive.

IDE
IDE is a connection standard in computing. The pins refer to the ends of the cable used to connect devices (usually hard drives).
Modern hard drives connect to the hard drive using a SATA cable. Older ones use a larger, slower IDE cable.

IDE hard drives are manufactured in Malaysia by the IDE company. Over the life of the production of these hard drives, the quality has improved immensely, starting at very poor and now arriving at very competitive.

Primary and secondary IDE slots are interfaces on a computer motherboard used to connect storage devices such as hard drives and CD/DVD drives. The primary IDE slot typically connects the main hard drive, while the secondary IDE slot can accommodate additional drives. This division allows for the management of multiple drives, enabling the system to read from and write to them efficiently. In modern systems, IDE has largely been replaced by SATA, but these slots were crucial in earlier computing architectures.
