Got 2 connectors on my mobo, I'm 99% certain that this means you can have 2 SATA Drives however in the bios it shows master/slave for each connector

I'd rather have them on my harddrive where I don't need to worry about them getting scratched or looking for the disc.
If I want to find something I just go to that folder.
