It's always good to keep tabs on the SMART status of the internal drive(s).

Either you're wrong or the G4 you're referring to is entirely non-standard! Normally, the drive at the end of the cable is the Master, and if there's only one drive on the cable, it must be set to Master or Cable Select and should (MUST if using Cable Select) be at the end. However, if neither drive is using Cable Select, it MAY be OK to put the master in the middle and the Slave at the end.
