Hi, This might seem like a long shot, but here goes.
I'm running Win10 pro on an i7 930 in an asus P6X58D-E mobo. My boot drive is a Sandisk SSD Ultra 128GB, and i have a Seagate Barracuda 2Tb HDD, both populating the only two 6Gbps ports i have.(Marvell controller, im guessing)
Recently i bought a 4TB Barracuda (5400rpm).
I do a bit of gaming on my device.
My questions are thus-
1.Will the newer hdd be better for gaming, considering it has a lower rpm, but larger cache?
2. If not, does it still make sense to shift the newer hdd to one of the 6Gbps ports?
3. I recently discovered that ive been running my setup in IDE mode. Will it make sense to change over to ahci, considering im going to have 1 ssd+1hdd in sata 3, and another hdd in the older sata 2 port?
