OK. I got two SATA harddrives - a 36gb 10,000 rpm boot drive and a 200GB
7,200 rpm 8MB cache drive.
I use XP Home and Win2K on my machine and want to create a single
pagefile.sys partition for both to use. I understand the read/write speed of
a drive gets slower the further you get from the outer cylinders.
So is it better to have the pagefile partition (3GB) as the 3rd partition on
the 10,000rpm drive after the 8GB Win2K partition and the 6GB XP Home
partition? (May be i can shrink those partitions slightly since I'll be
having a specific pagefile partition) Or is it better to have it as the
first partition on the 7,200 rpm drive?
The 10,000 rpm drive will also contain the serious apps partition for Win2K.
The 7,200 rpm drive will contain a games partition for XP and a digital
video partition(Win 2K). Although I do aim later to buy another humongous
ATA drive for more digital video storage and processing.
Thanks in advance
