I'd use the barracuda for the OS and fast access files (games, apps etc) and put music, documents etc on the 80Gb drive.

Actually, an 80G i wouldn't even hook up. If you're really crazy, you could try using it for the Window Swap File only.

Thats what I did, I use my 120gig IDE drive for my "My Documents" drive, and my SATA drive for the OS and games.

I need a new SATA drive soon, because I am down to 45gigs free.
