Hi
I'm just about ready to change my quote to an order (just hoping for some comments in the Check this Spec forum).
As well as a boot SSD I have a 1GB WD Caviar Black as the main work drive and want to partition it for "short stroke" speed.
Anyone know, have an HDTune performance chart perhaps, where the rd/wr performance starts to drop off as you measure across the disk?
I'm thinking that if I use a 200GB partition I'll get good speed out it, and then I may well split the rest into 400GB and the rest (another 400GB).
Any thoughts?
Also, anyone have any experience with NTFS mount points? I'm hoping to mount the 2nd partition mentioned above in a folder in the first partition - thus I can access both partitions as one drive (letter) but have "two-speed" data within it. Anyone tried this, know of problems etc (backup?)?
Cheers
