SATA question
Hi guys, I just bought a 200gb SATA hard drive, which I will be adding to my puny 40gb drive (and throwing the old piece of junk HD I had in a server). My question is, what would be the optimal configuration for these two drives? The SATA is 7200rpm, and I'm not sure on the 40gb, but I would think it is as well.
What I was thinking is partitioning the 200gb SATA into a 160 and 40, booting from the 40gb partition (I was told you can't use SATA drives as slave drives, is this true?), using the IDE drive just for installed programs, and the huge chunk for data storage. Is this a good set-up, or is there a better combination that I haven't thought of? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
