This link will give you a good idea of Drive and Partition setup for the nbest performance 
and general use.  Bear in mind that as the link says - what is good for one is not 
good for everyone so plan and decide the use and space requirements for YOU!

The best speed is generally the faster rpm - but that is qualified by cost obviously. 
 7,200 rpm is pretty standard - 10,000 is better.

Yes - you will need to basically start over again if you already have a working OS 
- deleting, partitioning and formatting.  You 'could' do it with something like Partition 
Magic but I wouldn't recommend it for a a good system.

Partitioning Strategy
