In a two harddrive setup (1st gen 36g Raptor, 150gb Raptor) where would be the best place, performance wise, to put this stuff.

From what I know I would say either:
A. All on the 150 Raptor, scrap the 36.
or
B. OS and Swap on the 36, Games and everything else on the 150.

Could any of you storage fanatics lend me your opinions? :)
 
Isn't the 150 going to be faster than the 36 at...everything?

You could sell/use future build the 36'er and solely use the 150. Then you run the risk of it dying and all going to hell. OR you could use your option 2.

I like option 1.
 
Put your games and OS on the 150, and use the 36 for your pagefile. You will gain the most performance for paging by having it on a physically separate channel.
 
Have you considered selling the 36GB unit and using the proceeds from it to get a 250-320GB 7200RPM that will hold a lot more data and access it faster?
