I have no particular preference between the two. I use both currently on
different systems. Do you have a preference and if so, why?

This way, I could keep both drives in the machine so thanks. Do I need to
change their jumpers so one is a master and the other a slave for them to

Oh, and this is a production system (email; web; ssh server). Does that
change or modify your recommendations?  (and thanks Rick; always good for
sound advice.)
