When you say in normal cases, are you speaking of chess, or in general? If it
isn't faster at all in most cases, what is the point of getting 2 hard drives?
I ask because in a computer I am looking at you can get them for about 2-300
dollars more, and I too thought they were about twice as fast as one HD.
