I've heard it's better to put your drive either before the 002R in the chain (002R --> HD --> Computer) or the drive on it's own port. The reason being that if your 002R was before the HD and the 002R loses power or it's connection (which we know can happen with the infamous power harness issue) during a disk write, it could toast your drive or at least your session.

This has been discussed quite a bit over on the DUC.
