I filled my old Seagate ST216081 160GB system hard drive with games, so I ordered a Samsung F3 1TB. Question: Should I move everything over to the 1TB drive, or is it ok to install all my games on the 1TB and leave the 160GB intact?

I don't transfer big files often and startup time isn't a big deal for me, but I was hoping for some improved load times in games with the Samsung. Will its speed be negated in anyway by keeping the system files on the 160GB drive?

Movies, music, tv shows, and pictures are all a non-factor as I already have a 1TB drive for that stuff.
 
Move everything over to the 1TB drive. That 1TB drive is more than likely twice as fast (at least) as that 160GB drive.
 
ok, is there a way to do that without doing a fresh install? My fiancee will murder me if I do a fresh install again.

You have a Seagate drive. Seagate provides a free stripped down version of Acronis True Image to all Seagate owners. There you go.
 
thanks danny. the more i think about it, the more i think i'm just going to put the games on the Samsung and keep the Seagate my system drive. I'm gonna ask for a SSD for XMAS and kick the seagate to the curb.
