Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
primary/secondary?
Aren't the two controllers on a typical Intel system called primary and seconday? (And each controller then can have a master and a slave drive.)
eta: Yes, above is correct.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need to roll my eyes at the controversy, myself.

There. I feel a little better now. Can't you just call them primary/secondary? I know I've seen that before.

That would possibly be confusing, with a primary and secondary controller each having a primary and secondary drive.

tommy, WhatIs says:
In computer networking, master/slave is a model for a communication protocol in which one device or process (known as the master) controls one or more other devices or processes (known as slaves). Once the master/slave relationship is established, the direction of control is always from the master to the slave(s). The County of Los Angeles, saying the term master/slave may be offensive to some of its residents, has asked equipment manufacturers not to use the term. Some manufacturers prefer the term primary/secondary.
So it may be acceptable usage.

Well, it would require slighty more effort for me to keep them straight.
But yeah, the more I think about it... that could work.
