Hello guys, I'm building my pc right now. I have two western digital hard drives: one is a 74gig raptor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144160 and the other is a 320gig regular sata hard drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144394 My 74gig raptor has a jumper on the back, but my 320 gig harddrive does not have a jumper in the back. Do both my hard drives need jumpers? If so, how would i go about configuring them

PS some of the reviews on newegg say sata drives do not need jumpers. If this is the case, then why does my 74 gig raptor have a jumper in the back?

There might be jumpers on the back but not for Master/Slave. SATA doesn't share drives on a cable.

How would i go about connecting the HD's to the Mobo. I have 2 cables from my powersupply connecting to each HD.

This is the mobo i have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131517

Use one PATA cable and one SATA cable
they should ship with the drives
