Hi, just a quick question....
I'm planning to build a new PC, get a new HDD and use an older drive from my current PC - eventually having this:
1x Samsung Spinpoint 160GB SATA (7200RPM 8MB Buffer) - Already have
1x Samsung SpinPoint F1 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache (HD502IJ) - Plan to buy
What I wondered is - would I be disadvantaged (speed-wise) putting the OS (Vista64), apps and games on the 160GB drive and using the 500GB for data, seeing as the former is SATA-I and the latter is SATA-II? Or would there be no real difference?
Thanks!
