Hi I'm planning to install And play games on my new Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST1000DM010 7200rpm 6gb/s... I have a moderate age 320gb HDD 7200rpm 3gb/s in which I'm using OS Should I shift the OS and games to the new good HDD or I should use it to play games only?

And how should I initialize it as for gaming? GPT or MBR?

Depends. If your motherboard supports UEFI boot and you are using windows 8.1/10, then yes, definitely use GPT. If u are using an older non-UEFI system and an older windows, stick to MBR.

besides Windows 8/10, Windows 7 64-bit also supports UEFI boot. If your system and computer support UEFI, I suggest you initialize your hard drive as GPT. Otherwise, MBR.
