Any device anywhere on the bus can supply term power, assuming it does it properly. As long as it supplies enough term power, it can power the terminators on both ends.

I do think that all storage devices should be on one side of the bus from the controller. It shouldn't matter, but I got superstitious after it mattered in one build I did. I have no idea why it mattered, maybe timing of echoes off of other devices, but I couldn't keep ultra speeds up until I moved everything to one side. (This was not on an Amiga btw)

I do always trust a dedicated active terminator over a device doing its own termination.
