OK, so the past week i've been trying to bust my ass figuring out why I was getting unreal frame drops in one of my games and in another game textures wouldn't load in for ~30 seconds after they should.
I had an old 7200 rpm hdd lying around and I put it into my pc and installed windows in it, making it my main drive. My other hard drive, (5400rpm, 2tb, which was previously my only drive and had windows + everything installed on it) I would use for some games/programs that weren't as demanding on the HDD. I installed the game that I was having a problem with onto the 7200rpm, and I didn't see much of a difference.
The question i'm asking basically is which HDD is *faster* at the end of the day for gaming- and for example, would it be a good idea to install windows solely on one of the drives and then the games on another (the faster of the two?)
Here is the result of a test I ran to check the read/write speeds of both drives. Thanks for the help
