HD config...?

[Soop53]

I know...I know, I could try to do a search to see what others are doing but give an ol boy a break. I need advice...I have 2 F1 750s (just arrived), XP 64, and Fusion software setting in front of me. I also have the stock 320 HD already in my beast. What would be the best set up using all three HDs and loading XP/Fusion.

My thoughts...

1. Stay with 320 as start up (seagate)
2. 1 750 for XP
3. 1 750 for time machine

Why would you choose to use the much larger drive for Windows and a drive less than half that size for OS X? The only reason for this I can think of is you primarily use Windows?

My Vote
--------
750GB OS X
750GB Time Machine
320 Windows XP

Speaking of which, with CCC I can copy may 320 drive to one of my 750s? Secondly, after I do that, should I erase everything off the 320 to have a clean drive for my XP? As you can see, I am new at this?

Okay, I just installed my 2 F1 750s. I carbon copy cloned one from my original 320 HD. I have the cloned F1 750 in Bay 1 as my start up disk. I have the second F1 750 in Bay 2 and the 320 in Bay 3.

I restarted the Pro and WOW!!! I really do see a faster boot time. Everything opens so much faster using the F1 as my main drive.

Thanks to all for your advice and using CCC...very simple. Actually, I am amazed at how simple and fast it was to install my new hard drives. Using CCC was also very simple and fast.

Now, on to setting up the 320 for windows using Fusion. Cross my fingers!!!
