Caviar Black HDD For Games

[zom247]

I've got a Crucial M4 128 GB as my main HDD. I have a spare Caviar Black 640GB HDD which I'm thinking of using as a games disk (will partition for other things too). My steam folder is about 140 GB and my WoW folder is 31 GB. Will I notice a speed difference over using the Caviar against my current 1TB Samsung HDD or would I be better off just updating to a 256 GB Crucial M4 and flogging the 128 GB one?

I would opt for the 256GB M4 if that's enough space for you. If I recall the Samsung F3 is supposed to beat the Caviar Black 640GB in sequential, but you didn't say what Samsung drive you had.

The 256 Gb one will be enough for me. I think it's the F3 I have as well.
