i have one hard drive that is at least a 3500 rpm and no one near as fast as the hard drives of today. for the time being , until i get my system put together, i was thinking of using it to hold the OS and other programs (it is only 10 gigs). my question is this - would there be any trouble using two hard drives while one is a lower rpm/cache hard drive model and the other is a faster hard drive model that would be used strictly for holding video/audio files?

Nope no problem at all, It might just slow you down a bit thats all when your transfering files about
I have 2 drives one is ATA66 and the other is ATA133, I use the ATA 66 one for all my dvd backups, But they work fine together
If that drive is 3500 rpm it must be very old but should still be ok -
I will try to go without buying a faster, 80 dollar 2nd hard drive for now, but may go with a smaller one for now. Thank you.
