as far as anyone can tell is there any major performance difference between thse 3 hard drives?
not sure what u mean. those 3 drives are performing normally within spec.
the blue 500gb u have is a 500gb single platter drive so its faster than ur 1tb black which is the three platter version that uses three 334gb platters.
the black 2tb uses four 500gb platters and it was the previous flagship drive so it shud be the fastest. it *was* the flagship drive until the black 4tb came out recently.
yeah the 2tb is the fastest.
i was just thinking about if i should move my os from the 500gb to the 1 tb seeing as i just got it cleared off and the 500 could use a good erasing.

why not the 2tb since its the fastest? 2tb is fine as the boot drive. without being long winded, only 2.5tb and larger drives need some funny stuff to be done to get them to work as a boot drive lol~
ive always had my os on a separate hard drive then my data i used to have a 69gb raptor + 4 other hard drives if i had the money i would just buy a 500gb black for my os.
then in 2009 got the 1tb to replace all those and later started useing the 500gb blue that i originally got for my mom and step dads computer.

oh my. since that's the way u set up ur storage subsystem previously then u shud have stuck with it but change the raptor to a 64gb or 128gb ssd. can get a 128gb ssd for slightly over $100. that wud be so much better for ur os and boot times instead.

Not trying to be a grammar nazi, but could you spell out your words a bit better? This is a forum, not a text message.

i have stuck with it minus having a modern raptor minumum space i would want is 500GB 128gb is too small thats why i had the 500gb blue performance wise its ok.
