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, I think the idea of calling them anything other than master/slave is stupid. Well, no, pointless. One drive doesn't actually control the other one, but who cares? Entrenched usage, and I really find offense a reach here.

Up/down?
Strange/charmed?
