About to buy new drive, install help?

[doggyfromplanetwoof]

Hey,

I am about to buy a new WD5000AAKS drive, I already have a 7200.10 320GB.

For performance reasons, the WD5000AAKS is much faster than the 7200.10, not to mention its cooler and runs silently compared to the 7200.10, which is a huge plus for me, since I use my computer for htpc and gaming.

Would it be best to install games on one drive and OS on a different drive? Or put the games / OS on the same drive (WD5000AAKS)?

I was thinking WD5000AAKS for OS/Games/Programs.

And the 7200.10 for media.

Discuss?

I think it would be better to install os and games to different hds, coz it allows to avoid issues.

I don't think you are going to tell a difference either way.

hmm, I see.

I don't think separating OS from games/apps makes much of a difference. I'm doing OS/games/apps on one drive, data on the others.
