Assuming "better" in your question relates to performance, yes, in
general it could help.  In some cases it might even make more sense to
segregate each drive to its own channel (i.e. if you have two PATA
drives, keep them on different cables: depending on the characteristics
of your controller, the gain in speed will be more or less noticeable).
