Need Performance: Best Use of SATA Drive?
I bought a SATA drive yesterday to get my paging file off the system disk.
ASSUMING there is a 15-20% increase in disk through put, would I gain more by mocing my system disk to the SATA and using the IDE for paging?

It probably makes no difference. Put both on fastest drive. But see what photoshop wants.
For windows none of it makes a significant difference. For photoshop who knows.

Unless you bought a 10,000 rpm SATA, there is very little difference between IDE and SATA. Jim

Need Performance: Best Use of SATA Drive?
My existing system disk is a Seagate ST380021A 80G. Its never performed well
in comparison to a couple WDs that I have. Its avg read is 36MB/s and bursts at 74MB/s. The Maxtor SATA test results (from the web) show avg read of 49 MBs and a burst speed of 111 Mbs. That is a good improvement over my current disk. "Gerry Cornell" wrote: Jim Doesn't that depend on their respective read / write speeds? The IDE disk could be old or not so old etc. ~~~~~~ Gerry "Jim" wrote in message . com... "Largelylivin" wrote in message ...
