2nd Hard Drive Question

[one30eight]

I just received a Hitachi Desktar 320 gig from RMA. I have a Western Digital Blue 640 in my case now. What would be the best option adding the 320 gig? I was thinking about putting the OS on an 80 gig partition and just using the drive as an OS/Apps and the 640 for storage. Is there a better option?

Hitachi



WD

I would put the OS and apps on the 640GB since its a lot faster. With backups and page file on the 320GB.

Should I put the OS on a say 40 gig partition on the WD 640?

use single partitions on the different drives. over the years I have found partitions to be more annoying than they are useful. fine for lunux the way it does mounts and virtual memory. windows, not so much.
