    Which HDD should i use?

    I have a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 80 GB (ATA, 7,200RPM, 8.5m/s, 2mb)
    and my newly acquired Seagate Barracuda 160GB (SATA, 7,200RPM, 8.5m/s, 8mb)
    I am thinking of doing a clean install and was wondering which should i make the OS disk?

    I would personaly make the Seagate the OS drive since it has an 8MB cache rather than a 2MB cache.
