New
#1
Small HD OS, Big HD Programs?
I am in the final processes of building a new desktop PC and am wondering if there is any logic behind either of the following scenarios of it they are simply not worth it:
#1 I have an old 75gb hard drive (ST380011A) that I can salvage from one of my older computers. I am wondering if there is any benefit to using it specifically for Windows 7 only and reserving my 1 TB HD for storing everything else. (I work a lot with video)
#2 Same scenario only I have a 200gb int/ext Hardrive (it's in a kit that can make any HD an external) and is newer though I am unsure what the model number is on it.
#3 I could just put Windows 7 on my 1TB HD (ST31000528AS) and not concern myself with it.
Really my question is if there is any benefit to speed/cooling/security/etc. to having my OS on a separate HD from everything else, and what problems I might face by doing it that way.
