Why would a small hard drive improve gaming?

If anything you'd want a big one to fit all the games and still have space left over for it to run fast.

because the needle does not have as far to travel in a smaller HDD, but you can get larger ones with 7200 RPM which wont even make a difference

I guess that makes sense...

It would be better to have a big one though if you download the games. Otherwise you'd end up only being able to play like 1 game.

Typical situation is to have a very very fast primary that you have the OS and a few core programs on, then a slower secondary dedicated to storage.

I do this on my desktop. I have a 7200RPM 320Gb as my primary, and a 5400RPM 500Gb as my secondary. I'd really like to get a 10KRPM WD Raptor (300Gb):

I need a desktop computer

[deathlord888]

lol ishy why so much space???

[freetibet]

probably for all the things he downloads. Like movies, games, programs, etc

If i saved everything i ever downloaded i'd fill quite a few gigs too. Instead I just keep the stuff I really really like
