Hi all

I am after a new HD basically my 80gb Sata just isn't big enough for all the games app's and documents I have.

Now I have toyed with a 200gb harddrive of which would be big enough, and using the 80gb sata for the apps only.

However a question popped into my head last night.

What if I was to buy a raptor 10k RPM harddrive and use that for my apps and use the 80gb Maxtor SATA HD as the slave for documents ( this would be big enough ).

Would I see a performance gain using the raptor configuration over the traditional small app HD and huge backup HD?

My budget for a new harddrive is strictly under Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£60.
