2nd sATA HD - AMILO 3438

Recommended Posts

Greetings

I'm thinking on buying this HDD:

Momentus 7200.1 SATA 1.5Gb/s 80-GB Hard Drive

http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?vgne...mp;locale=en-US

and install it as my main hard drive on my amilo 3438, and move the hard drive that came with my amilo 3438 to the second tray(5400rpm hard drive).

...now the questions :)

1 - Is this going to make a significant improvement on my laptop perfomance? or is it better to buy another identical hard drive that came with my laptop and setup it as RAID?

2 - Anyone know where i can buy all the parts needed to install the second hard drive here in UK?

thx

1: Well, a faster hard drive will improve load times, but that's about it. It you are set on getting a second hard drive, I would buy the 7200 RPM and use your current as a second hard drive. RAID 0 has all sorts of security problems in the sense that if one drive fails, you lose everything.

2: <yank>Nope, sorry.</yank>
