so far, I agree with all of everyone's opinions, however I would like to add some insite to the fragmentation possiblity.
I do not have any proof of this, just personal experience, but the size of the partition on the 160g HD also can play a factor. If you are not defraging and have 1 hell-of-a-large partition, you can really kill the speed of any drive. If you were to create multiple partitions of the 160g drive, fragmentation is limited and also requires less defrags.
Take that for what you will, and again, just my own person belief.
