Hi,

I will be getting one of the above hdd soon....

I just wondered how I should set it up, IDE or SATA? Should I partition? If yes how much space for windows and how much for progs?

I am assuming I should only put these two on there?

Altho I also game, so Im kinda confused how best to set it up?

Please advise

Thanks in advance...

Cheers..
