I am going (wanting) to set up a 150gig Raptor Drive for my OS and 1 or 2 HD's for the rest.
In doing my research, I see that you put your OS and applications on the fast drive, and everything else on the slower drives......
So my question is....... How do you know what to put on the Raptor vs the other in terms of programs???? I have never had 2 drives, and I am filling my 250gig up pretty fast.
Do all "programs" like Office, Firefox, a game go on the Raptor and things like pics and downloads go on the other??
Can a install a non essential programs that I run rarely on the 2nd drive and have it work?
So basically, what is the division of stuff to put on what?
2 more questions..... How quiet are the Raptors? i have a Western Digital wd250 0ks and its pretty quiet. Also, if I get a 3rd for back up (just a drive for a program to copy stuff to at night) any recommendations for a program to do that? I am running Vista Premium 64bit.
Thanks for you help
