Hi list! |

I've got a little question. Here I've got a PC with two 40GB hard |
4 |
disks, a CD-burner and a DVD-burner, all PATA. Now I'm running out of |
5 |
disk space and I'm thinking about ways to increase it: |

1. I could replace the older 40GB disk with a new model but I'd hate to |
8 |
trash it because it's working alright. |

2. I could replace the really old and rather useless CD-burner with a |
11 |
disk. However, that would mean I'd have to attach the DVD-burner and |
12 |
one of the disks to the same controller. Now I'm asking myself (and |
13 |
you ;) ) how that would affect performance. Would it cause problems |
14 |
when both devices exchange data, for example when burning or ripping a |
15 |
DVD? Could I still watch a DVD while, for example, making a backup to |
16 |
or from that HDD? |

Thanks in advance! |
