I have a dual 1.25 G4 and it came preinstalled with this 80 gig hard drive. I then installed a 200 gig as a slave. I recently upgraded to Tiger but installed it on the 200 gig. It was a fresh install, but things seem to be sluggish, more than Panther on the older drive.

Should I move the OS back over to the master 80 gig one or just stay with Tiger on the 200 gig?

Here are the specs:

Seagate.. = a bit slower, but quiet and 5-yr warranty.
WesternDigital = noisier, but feel faster.

I have 3 HDDs inside my DP G4 1.25. 160GB Seagate on the ATA/100 bus, stock 80GB Seagate and 120GB Samsung on the ATA/66 bus. Currently, selling the WD 120GB (8mb cache).

Thanks for the response, but my question is still unanswered. See above.

Put Tiger on the 80GB drive and make your own comparison. Then run the system on whichever drive is faster.

The 200GB drive should be faster in all respects. It could be that the fresh install needs to build its caches up.

DO all seagates have a 5 year warranty? On my receipt it says 1 year next to the name of the drive.

UPDATE:

Okay. I just wiped the 80 gigger clean and installed a fresh copy of 10.4 Tiger. WOW. This is a huge improvement. Thanks for all the help.

That's good for you.

From what I read on newegg.com. Internal Seagate HDDs (Retail or OEM) carry a 5-yr warranty, but those external model gives you only 1-yr.
