| It depends. You can Do RAID0 if you get another 250 gb. RAID stand for Redundant Array In disks. Basically its alot faster. but if you get a bigger or smaller drive and you add it on you wont see a diffrence at all.

| Saying there will be no performance difference is sort of false. If you have a program that uses alot of memory so uses alot of page file and uses a hard drive for reading and writing alot than there will be better performance. But the only time I have ever done something that did that was transfering a video to BMP frames. Also, if you use record games with a program like FRAPS than having it on a independant HDD increases game performance.

| True Techie | There's no real reason to fear hard drives slowing down your computers performance. You won't notice a difference.
