My computer came with a 5400rpm harddrive stock, and I thought that was fine, I can just add another harddrive later, a faster one. According to sources, running multiple harddrives at different speeds will just cause them to all run at the lowest drives speed. Now, my girlfriends' brother is a computer wizard, and he says there is a way to get them to work, but it's not the best choice. Would a firewire drive be the answer??? I was looking at the digidrive a while back, but the price!!! I then looked up a few western digital, ibm, and maxtor ones, that werre about $200 for 100gb @ 7200 rpm. If I used that, in a firewire port, would it run at 5400 rpms like my existing drive, or would it run at 7200? Thanks.
