Hi guys, Hey, I've got these 3 HDD's installed and I'm wondering what the best method is for organizing them (like which one to create a partition for the Win7 OS):
Model No. Series Capacity RPM Cache Interface
WD1002FAEX WD Caviar Blac 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB SATA 6.0Gb/s
WD10EADS WD Caviar Green 1TB 5400 RPM 32MB SATA 3.0Gb/s
WD2500KS WD Caviar SE16 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB SATA 3.0Gb/s
They're ordered from newest to oldest. I think the easiest thing to do would be to have my 250GB be my OS drive, with the FAEX being the primary data, with the EADS (slower) being the backup for FAEX (faster).
OR
Is it better to create a 100 or 200GB partition for Win7 on the FAEX in order to get the best performance possible (from the higher SATA throughput and 4X the Cache), taking advantage of the larger Cache?
I won't put the Windows OS on the EADS because of the slow RPM.
