the SCSI ID is different for each drive and that neither is set to SCSI ID 7

Use the configuration shown in Figure 24 when connecting each drive to separate
SCSI buses.
Figure 24: Two drives on two SCSI buses

3 SCSI bus 1 cable, SCSI connector nearest terminator is used for drive 1
4 SCSI bus 2 cable, SCSI connector nearest terminator is used for drive 2

Caution: To prevent possible data errors, when there is only one drive on a
SCSI bus that drive must be connected to the SCSI port closest to the terminator.
