    Hey guys, Im thinking about getting a 2nd HD for my W3J for storage of songs, pictures, etc, and was wondering, is the performance of the 2nd drive through the HD kit the same as the first HD that is inside the W3J? I might use it to install games as well so i want to make sure the performance is similiar if not the same

    Thank you

    I ran a basic test before I changed my stock Fujitsu Drive, I have a couple of Seagate 5400 drives, my standard 100gb 5400.2 Seagate, was faster running in the Modular bay, than the stock Fujitsu running as my primary drive. so if that is the case, yes the modular bay will run as fast as your primary drive?

    I am actually considering getting a 7200rpm drive, I have been doing some photoshop and audio work, the extra speed would be nice.
