Will I see an increase in performance?
Hey all, I ran HD Tune, and found out, my second hard drive which has all of my games on it, maximum transfer speed was 66Mb/s, if I was to get a 640GB WD hard drive, which I believe go up to 110Mb/s, would I see an improvement on game FPS or not?

Maybe loading times, but I doubt you'd see any difference for FPS, if so very minimal.

Faster hard drives will load games and applications faster, but based upon my experience, you won't see any noticeable difference in in-game play. For reference, my HDD performance when I was running 4 drives is illustrated below, and I didn't see a difference in FPS performance.

Thanks for your replies, since the loading is very acceptable, ill keep the hard drive vs getting a new hard drive.
