    Two Hard Drives: Pagefile

    Right then.. excuse me if this is badly worded, but im still a bit hungover from last night I have two hard drives, a 160GB WD Special Edition SATA and a 74GB WD Raptor SATA. At the moment my Pagefile is on the Raptor but i was wondering if putting the Pagefile onto my 160gb drive will make any difference, as that drive is slower than the raptor?

    Anyone know?

    Cheers,

    Craig

    I think you should be putting it on the HD without the OS

    How full is your Raptor? Which drive do you boot from (has OS) and which OS?

    Putting it on a seperate drive to the OS is usually preferable. I think the advantages of having it on a seperate drive would outweigh the speed advantage of the WD Raptor.
