Now just looking at speed, which drive would be faster:
IBM 34GXP, 20GB
Seagate ATA Barracuda IV, 60GB
Both running in UDMA-66 mode. Both are 7200 RPM, both will be camping out in my system (along with an old 2GB SCSI Barracuda) and I want to know if the swap file and possibly the system would be better off on the Seagate or the IBM.
Note: cost and size are irrelavent. Currently the Seagate is on order/on the way.
