I wondered why you mentioned slave drives in your opening post. I thought you might just be stabbing at outdated info.
Master/Slave/Cable select requirements are a real thing for older IDE discs.
Any that I've seen have a nice diagram of the jumper port on the label. Usually it's a simple case of putting on jumper into one of three positions.
It's counter intuitive, but as your drive will be the only drive on that device path, you'll want to set it to master.
