Hi there, im building a gaming platform and I already have a 250GB 7200.10 Seagate

Now im thinking of buying another 320GB 7200.11 Seagate, If I do.. which drive should I use for games and which for the OS?

Any advice welcome :)

PS. If you have any tips for another HDD those are welcome to.. but I dont want to exceed my current budget (the seagate .11 costs 50 euro which is 79 US dollar)

There is not enough performance difference between these 2 drives to make any noticeable difference no matter which one you use for the OS or games. Simply put the OS on the smaller drive to leave more room for stuff on the larger drive.
