    Ok, whilst our doris was quitting her job, i took the nipper round *SPIT* PC World, and saw a 250Gb SATA HDD for £50 so i bought it. They kicked me in the nuts again, as it was OEM and didn’t come with the sata data cables or the Sata power cables, even though the fuckwit behind the support desk said they did.

    Anyhow, i wanna run it along side my old 120Gb HDD, but i remember someone saying it’s best to keep one as a Operating system HDD and one as a games and pron storage HD. Is this true, and which one should i use for which?

    I’ve always found keeping the fastest for op system will serve you best in the long run as you haven’t given any specs for both drives I’ll take a guess and suspect they both have the same access times but the new one will possibly be sata2 so I would say use the new one for the op system and the old one for storage.

    If you the cash drop a couple of western Digital 150g raptors in,

    Hope this helps
