Two different speed HDD's
Last response: in Storage
I have a 1.5TB Western Digital HDD 3.0 Gb/s internal drive with 64MB cache
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...)
attached to an Asus M4A785-M board
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...)
and I would like to attach some extra SATA HDD's to the same board which are slower than the above. Will attaching slower drives to that board slow my reads and writes on the 1.5T drive? All the SATA interfaces are on the board. Just wondering if attaching slower drives will slow down this one or not. I have a bunch of old drives that I want to use as backup image locations. I just don't want to slow things down by attaching them. I know it would have slowed down using an IDE but haven't really tried it with SATA.
I would just try it and test but my components are still being shipped by newegg and I'm debating about whether to just get some similar speed drives as the Western Digital versus using the older ones.

make sure to check out the list of code words windows provides.
for instance you can say "switch to Microsoft Outlook" and it will alt tab over for you but if you say "open Microsoft Outlook" it will open a new instance of it or if you say "go to Microsoft Outlook" it will pretend it doesn't know what you're saying.
Have a blast. It's not an everyday thing to do because pointing and clicking is faster but if you're getting dressed and need to send out an email while tripping over your trousers it will get two things done at once.
