I recently installed a Velociraptor HDD 300GB 10,000RPM into my desktop to make my original seagate 7,200RPM 250GB as a reserve drive for extra storage space. What I've done is that I have migrated my entire data (including OS) from my Seagate to my Velociraptor and then set it to Master and Boot drive with the Seagate as Slave. Both of the drives are running independantly and not in RAID mode. Now I am concerned with two questions: 1. If i am running both drives independantly, will the 7200RPM disk affect the speed of my raptor? (My raptor is set as master and boot drive for my OS) 2. Would it be better to set the drives in RAID0 together for faster speed? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! __________________ [url=http://jail-break-ps3.blogspot.com/2010/12/jail-break-ps3.html]Jail break ps3[/url]
