Hi I have read for a few weeks and on other sites about hdd's and peformance.
find that 74gig raptor 10,000 is the bomb.
But I am worried about the OS and swap file getting in the way of my programfiles lord of rings game read/ write SPEED etc.
So is it better to buy x2 36 gig 10000raptors (install os and swap file partitioned on first hdd then other hdd have game)
or a single 74gig 10000 raptor for os swap file and game?
Also can I disable swap file if using vista with 2 gig oif ram and a readyboost chip?
Cause if I raid then my entire theory about swap file and os demands on same hdd as game just goes.
Hardware considerations.
Western Digital 36.7G SATA Raptor 10000 rpm HDD (16M) two x2
or
Western Digital 74G SATA Raptor 10000 rpm HDD(16Mb Cache)
