80 gig raptor

can i just install all my games to a 2nd internal hard drive to get faster loading times? how much faster will a raptor be over the average prebuilt hd? thanks.

Yes you can if your computer has enough ports. And with an 80 gig raptor, you are looking at maybe a couple seconds off load times.

what about the 160 gig? its got a faster rate i think.

Are these the velociraptor or regular Raptor drives? If its regular, you probably will not see any difference between loading, it could possibly be slower. What hard drive do you currently have?
