There are some very technical reasons to do with frequency, interference, standing waves, etc for the maximum length of the cables and the spacing between connectors, you could well end up causing read/write errors.

Also if you use cable select ( CS ) where the dirves are allocated master / slave based on where they are plugged in it will definately screw it up ( Does anyone ever use this ? )
