Hi there, I'm running a desktop PC with 3 HDs. (well actually, I'm about to get the 3rd in a few days...)

1) the new one: 1TB, fastest

2) the mediocre one: 500GB

3) older slower one: 160GB

I was wondering, for gaming, on which drive should I place th OS(windows7) and on which drive to install games? or maybe they should be both on the same drive?

thanks in advance

Well I would put the OS on the fastest drive. Since that conveniently happens to be the biggest, you might as well put all your games and most used apps there as well. If you still need the storage of the other two, just add what you use the least.
